A sneak preview at painting

I've been holding off on posting photos of the painted rooms because I couldn't get there when the light would do the colors justice. But I've decided to go ahead and post anyway so you can get an idea of what things look like.

Here is a photo of what what we are calling the "mud room" which is really the vestibule that leads from the garage into the living room. The YOLO color is "Leaf.o4" In fact, we used this color for all entries into the house.
Walking through the house, the next room is the living room. We picked a light, yet warm color for it called "Air.02." This color runs through the main living room and up the stairs into the upstairs hallway.
This is the first floor bedroom. The color is "Air.04"...a little more color than the living room.

Here is a photo of the east wall of the dining room and part of main kitchen..."leaf.04" again (we really liked that color!!)

Here is the kitchen of the casita (and Joseph, our concrete-meister)...this color is "Stone.01." In fact, the entire first floor of the casita is this color.

Here is a picture of the bedroom in the casita. The plastic has yet to be taken off the windows, but you can still sort of appreciate the warm color called "Clay.01." The floors will be a wonderful yellow-tan marmoleum which we think will go nicely together with the paint.
I don't have photos of my office but it will be the most dramatic color...Clay.03. Very close to terra cotta. Also our bedroom is a warm, yellow-ish "Grain.03", which we also really like. I couldn't get to these rooms because they were barracaded off. Joseph had cleaned off all the concrete floors the past two days and is preparing to stain them today. It will take 3 days...stain, seal, and then wax. We plan to go back on Saturday and take photos of the floor. :) Stay tuned!
