Decorating the front enterance way

Our house was built in 2002 and has been the safe and comfortable home for two families in that time. As we move in we can see that the weathered and worn condition of the walls and ceiling makes for an exhausting yet exciting decorating project. We will be patching, sanding, and finally priming to transform this home and make it ours.

Colour scheme

For the longest time I've lived entombed by Magnolia or one of its other incarnations, well actually I've lived in the glorious confines of a conservatory for the past 5 years, but my point remains, it's dull. For this project we have chosen Sleeping Inn by Valspar to be our wall colour. It's part of the gray family with a hint of blue and it reflects a good amount of light, contributing to a bright, subtle, and serene aesthetic. That's how it reads and I will say that on application it holds true — It's an inviting colour.

The ceilings, cornances, and baseboards will remain white, specifically aimed at creating a sharp contrast to the wall and floors. This is nothing too fancy here it's a Dulux Brilliant White using Eggshell for the baseboards and Matt on the cornaces and ceilings.

I've never been particularly fond of woodern flooring, but I will admit that some of the latest styles and colours has really impressed me. Particularly this ash

Humble beginnings...

The enterance way is the ideal place to begin this journey, as its the first thing we are greeted with when we arrive home. It is also heavily battle worn and requires a fair amount of TLC to restore the walls. After a relatively short discussion we have agreed that we will use a simple yet elegant colour scheme for the general areas of the home. There are is an interesting variety of 'touch up' colours that have been used, along with a generous amount of patching, so to get the best posible result I am going to prime the walls to nuturalise the colours but also seal in the patchwork after sanding for a smooth finish.
