Paint Colors?!?



Knock down ceiling done and canned lights

 I got a call Monday from the contractor asking me if I'd picked out paint colors yet. Seriously? Paint? Isn't paint a lot further down the process? He was at a point where he could paint the doors and trim, and actually preferred doing that before the floor went down. How was I going to pick out paint when I didn't have the tile samples, cabinets, yada yada yada? A little better communication on timelines and dependencies would be helpful (the project manager in me just can't help coming out).

Luckily, Julie was able to make suggestions and pick out some Sherwin Williams paint colors. Not that I have any big preference to SW, but there is a store close to my house and I knew that I could look at paint chips easily there. Even better, I was able to look at the colors online on their site.



Balanced Beige and Alabaster

 Out of Julie's suggestions, I  picked out Alabaster White for the trim and doors, and Balanced Beige for the wall color. Voila! I gave the color numbers to Brian and that task was done.

The cork is supposed to be in tomorrow and I learned that it needs to sit in the targeted installation location for 24 hours before it could be installed. Who'd have thunk that? The painting is to be done tomorrow/Thursday and the flooring installed Friday. I am still wa-a-a-a-y ready for this job to be done!
