Behr Soft Denim for Kitchen and Family Room

Spruced up our plain white walls in time for my sister's bridal shower that was being held at my house. Man, it was tough finding the right color for our place though. The goal? Gray/blue walls that seem to be so popular right now. There are so many shades and each look different once on the wall and in the space.

The color was to be used in our entry way from the garage, the family room, and the kitchen. It doesn't have a lot of natural light in those areas, so I didn't want a color to make it too dark and cave like.

Look at that horrible carpet and green fireplace, we need color and updates badly!

The color I chose is part of the new Primer and Paint line from Behr at Home Depot, Soft Denim. Though I thought it leans toward the blue side of things, I feel it was the best color that still seemed like a neutral with our couch, decorations, trim, white cabinets, and wood furniture.

Once the entire space was done, I feel like I am really happy with it. It does make our counters look a bit on the pink side, but they need to be replaced anyway. I love the color with my bronze curtain rod (score from Big Lots) and I think it will look great once I paint that green fireplace white.

I've even tested some other paint colors that look gray/blue on my walls since, but they always come out more on the gray side, so it proves that I made the right color choice. One friend came over and immediately asked what colors my walls are. She shared that she has been looking for a gray/blue color forever and really likes ours. Yay! Friend approved too.
