Sand & Sisal

Laundry rooms aren't usually the first spaces to get decorated, but I feel like we ALL love and appreciate a pretty laundry room! Kim Wilson of Sand & Sisal decided that since she had to spend so much of her time doing laundry ("with two messy teen girls, two dirty, sweaty, little boys, a hubs who never unrolls his gym socks!" Ha!!), then her laundry room had to at least be beautiful! She did a stellar job on the makeover, don't you think?? She used one of my favorite paint colors on the walls–"Rainwashed" by Sherwin Williams. I especially love it next to the fresh white beadboard ceiling and crown molding that they installed. The sorting station is absolutely genius too!! Read all about this inspiring space and see lots more pics (including before's) right here!

Rainwashed Again!

I'm so not alone in my love for Rainwashed by Sherwin Williams. Two readers/fellow bloggers recently completed amazing transformations in their homes using this beautiful shade. First off, Renee of Modus Operandi Designs just finished remodeling her kitchen. I love how functional and stylish it is! She said she wanted a contemporary farmhouse kitchen, and I say that's exactly what she got! Next, the lovely Emily of Decor Chick and her beautiful master bedroom. Before it was ocean of beige, now (just $170 later!! for real?!) it's a peaceful space full of life! Check out their great blogs for more images, including before-n'afters!

With that being said, I'm sure many of you will love these two rooms from Studioten25's Blog painted "Rainwashed" by Sherwin Williams, a color that so many of you adore. I can see why...it's truly a beautiful color! And how about that super-cute colorful dog artwork on the walls from my favorite SugarBoo Designs! Love that too!

I'm constantly asked what my go-to paint colors are, and it's so hard to say because I actually have no experience painting...the definite disadvantage to renting! It's beyond me why I didn't think to do this sooner, as in YEARS ago, but better late than never. I need your help! In the comments, I'd love it if you could share your favorite turquoise-ish paint colors. Bonus points if you link to images either from your home, or anywhere else you've seen it used!

My loyal reader Mustang got us started:

• True Turquoise by Glidden
• Cool Aqua and Poolside Blue by Benjamin Moore
• Aqua Chiffon by Olympic Paint
• Nifty Turquoise by Sherwin Williams
• Beach Sparkle by Valspar

If you don't have a personal favorite, tell me which paint color from the pictures above you like best!

Thanks you guys, I can't wait to hear what you have to say...this is going to be awesome! :)

Holly Springs Home

This beautiful home in Holly Springs, NC belongs to my reader Jessica C. Lucky for us, it's currently for sale!! How gorgeous is that family room?! Those amazing ceilings with all the light flowing in, the sunny breakfast room, the gorgeous hardwood floors...yeah, I could live with that! I sure hope whoever buys it keeps all that pretty wall color (Rainwashed-6211 by Sherwin Williams)! For lots more photos of the rest of the home and all the details, head over here. It's a steal of a deal!

Jo Rabaut

Here is a sneak peak into the rest of the home with the Kitchen of the Year I posted about on Tuesday. You can see how the Atlanta-based designer Jo Rabaut carried that gorgeous blue throughout the home. I especially love the spacious laundry room...those drying racks are great. I never have enough space to dry my clothes! To see more images from this Garden Hills residence (including a particularly envy-inducing closet and master bath), check out the portfolio of Rabaut Design Associates!

Edit: Jo Rabaut was kind enough to provide me with the paint information. The kitchen and laundry wall colors are Sherwin Williams SW 6211 Rainwashed.

Kitchen of the Year

Hold onto your horses, this kitchen is a true standout! Megan of A Life's Design shared it and another winner of the 2010 Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles Kitchen of the Year Contest. Obviously this beauty designed by Jo Rabaut was MY personal favorite. So much space, ample storage, a dreamy color palette...the stuff dreams are made of! I never knew I needed a butler pantry (or a double trough sink)....but I'd LOVE to have this one! Head over here to read all about this serene kitchen of the year!
