Nantucket Style Home and Paint Colors

One of my many dreams is to live in a Nantucket Style home, or live in Nantucket! Luckily, I can live vicariously through my clients. I home staged their beautiful Chicago home earlier this year (BTW it sold in a week with multiple hours, wink wink). Now I am helping them re-style their GOR GE OUS Nantucket style home in Kenilworth.

From new paint colors to furnishings, we are taking this home from beautiful to perfection and I am savoring each moment.

Check out these before photos of the property.

Well, my clients are a young family and wanted to update the wall colors while still respecting the style of the home.

So, painting was the first step. My painter was so excited for this project (insert sarcasm). You know, removing wall paper from EVERY SINGLE ROOM is his favorite, but what made it even more special was that all those thick shiny yellow stripes in the family room had to be plastered and sanded down. After seeing how much work went into removing those painted stripes, I might reconsider, EVER, telling someone to paint stripes again. geez.

Anyhoo, the painting on the first floor is upon completion.

My inspiration for colors came from this color palette.

And some of these spaces inspired me.

At the end, we went with the following colors

Kitchen, Benjamin Moore Gray Owl

Living and Dining Room, Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray

Family Room, Benjamin Moore Nantucket Breeze

Powder Room and Laundry Room, Benjamin Moore Wedgewood Gray

Now, these colors always show darker on my blogger. HATE THAT. So stay tune to see how they really turned out.

Painting in progress, this is kitchen being painted Gray Owl and the powder room in Wedgewood.

And final pick for dining room in Stonington

AHAHHH!! Can’t wait to show the final look.
