As my closest and long time Austin and San Antonio friends know, interior color in our current home has been a process. Having lived in this home for 11.5 years, and having matured in the process, I have had quite a journey with color.

I love the current colors of our home the best. Being approximately 2200 square feet, our current home can support many different, yet complimentary, interior wall colors.

Our current home has 8 interior wall colors: 4 downstairs and 4 upstairs. I selected all the colors, except for Alan’s office color. Each color is by Ralph Lauren Paint, purchased at The Home Depot when the store still carried the Ralph Lauren Paint brand.

The common areas downstairs and upstairs are painted NA20 Victoriana. Our current house floor plan is open and having only one common area color allows proper flow from room to room.

The Front Entertainment Center wall is VM52 Burning Umber. It is a blue red. Red is a stimulating color and perfect for a TV room. Red has been my accent color for the past 11.5 years and I still love it. In the new home, however, I am going to use a different accent color because I am comfortable changing it up.

The Downstairs Bathroom is VM138 Calypso. Both Alan and I love this blue color.

The Guest Bedroom is UL13 Pale Grey. Grey is my favorite color. I love the grey guest bedroom and am so happy we sold the master bedroom furniture recently so that we can stay in the grey guestroom until we move into our new home.

Alan’s office is NA37 Kew Place. The Upstairs Guest Bathroom, or Alan’s Bathroom, is NA01 Barn Owl White. My workout room is VM55 Keswick Brown, another favorite color. The master bedroom is UL43 Broome.

Color is an inexpensive way to give a home its own unique look. I value the importance of color so much that I hired an interior decorator to suggest colors for our new home. I have learned from experience that it is much more efficient to get the color right the first time around. I do not plan on repainting our new home for at least 10 years when I’ll need a change of color. Almost two weeks ago, I selected the colors for our new home, with the help of our interior decorator and I love every one.
