Love the budget, but the chose of white seems rather stark. Maybe it's just the lighting for the camera or something? Is it like that in person? What colour did you use? I'm about to venture down this road in a new old house and I think I'm going to hire a professional to give me colour advice. Yes, more money, but I have made too many mistakes painting white and then having an awesome blue/violet vibe coming at me!

Agreed, it's totally the CBC logo!!! Canada's news source. I don't like it b/c of that, reminds me of 80s newscasts...but that's just b/c of the similarity, love the idea. I also like the suggestion to lift it up with wheels or something and spraying the hardware...guess it never ends! Well done!

Hi Leah,
Questions: The door just before the kitchen...did you tape and paint a different shade of white on it? Love.
I have a similar house I want to do like yours with only ONE south window, so I'm concerned about the Van Deusen blue being too dark in some rooms, and how many of your rooms have South exposure?
It would be awesome to have a floorplan...is the teenager's room really separated? Where does your light blue colour begin? I'm not sure how to integrate the colours without creating a jarring effect (no flow).

THANKS for the inspiration and I hope you can answer some of the obsessive detail questions!!!
