Sherwin Williams Perfect Palette Room ReDo and Giveaway-Part 2

Pin It

Okay, so remember when I shared my horribly ugly guest bedroom with you here?  The one we decided we are going to make over into my oldest son's room?  Well, today I wanted to let you know that we finally decided on a color palette. Hooray!

So first, a review! Here were my two color palette choices...

Palette #1:

(Palette #1 using the awesome Chip It! software)

And Palette #2 :

In the picture above you can see how I used Sherwin-Williams's new Chip It! button, which lets you use any picture you find online to create a perfect palette for inspiration.  It is awesome!

You can get the Chip It! button just like the Pin It button for Pinterest.  First you drag the Chip It! button below to your toolbar:

Whenever you spot a photo you like online, just click the Chip It! button and then click the photo itself. And voila--you get the picture's paint colors.  So easy!  It rocks my socks.

Did you put your vote in for which palette I should use? 

Which do you think we picked?

All right, enough with the suspense. We chose color palette #2!!!

I just loved the mix of colors in this photograph.  I think it will suit Noah just fine too, as he loves the color orange. This color palette definitely appealed to all of us: me, for my love of the neutral gray color as a base for decorating; my husband, for the infusion of blues and oranges so it is not a 'Debbie Downer' sort of room where you feel depressed walking into it on a daily basis (his thoughts, not mine, people!); and Noah, for the ORANGE. This kid loves orange and he is so happy that he will have a room with orange decor.  Don't you love it when it's the little things that can make a kid happy?  :-)

So...now back to the ugly room we need to make over.  Let's just take a look-see at it one more time and let me share with you some thoughts I have about the redecorating that is about to take place.

Yeah, there's a lot of crazy going on in this room!

Just to share a few redecorating ideas with you...

1. The wallpaper has got to go!  This is definitely priority #1 right now. †In its place will be a nice light grey paint color. Ahhhh, goodness!

2. The queen-size bed will be replaced by a twin bed with a frame, quite possibly the one my husband used as a child. :-)

3. The makeshift nightstand will go bye-bye and we'll replace it with something more "Noah."

4. The window will get its molding back, and then on top of that some nice curtains or drapes, quite possibly in orange for the little man!

5. Two words: WALL ART!!!  This room has been such a catchall for junk since we moved into our house that I am uber-excited to finally get some nice wall art up in here.  And after using the Chip It! program, I know just the colors to bring into the room, hip hip hooray!

Now, for some eye candy!  Here are some inspiring images that might be nice for our makeover. I found them based off of the Chip It! palette:

{Funky lampshade via Rosenberry Rooms}

{Inspiration wall art via Wall Fry}

You likey?  Man, how I love looking for inspirational images. Maybe that's why I love Pinterest so much?  You too, right?  

If so, I have to tell you again that you really, truly do need to check Chip It! out.  It is one of the neatest things out there.   Go see  the Chip It! video and add the Chip It! button to your bookmarks bar now.  You will fall completely in love with what this new program does for your inspirational image color palettes.
