I realize that most of the participants in the One Room Challenge have already picked out the colors for their rooms. Well…not me! However, I have narrowed it down a bit. I am definitely painting the walls Sherwin Williams-Pure White. Now, do I want to paint the built-in and trim Sherwin Williams- Artichoke or Sherwin Williams- Iron Ore???

Iron Ore and I are old friends. I have painted a few things around my home this color…including my front porch! It is the perfect black that isn’t too black. If that makes sense. Here is an example of a dark mudroom to give you an idea of what it could look like:
I am also in love with the SW Artichoke color. Maybe its because I am craving the greenness of Spring or I just really like artichokes. Here is some inspiration:
After I decide on my paint colors, I am going to add a bunch of wood accents and try to duplicate this awesome tile from Home Depot by painting over the existing tile. Sarah Dorsey used it in her recent bathroom remodel and it looks amazing.

The plan for this week is to finish the second shelf on the built-in, add the new bench top, and paint…if I can choose a color. Then next week I will show you all the progress on our mudroom. I can’t wait!
