So I went to Las Vegas to help my sister Nola paint her new house. It was previously pinky beige throughout. We totally updated it with new colors. Benjamin Moore Aura paint was our paint of choice. We used HC-45 (shaker beige) as the main hallway color. HC-77 (alexandria beige) as the front entry. HC-86 (kingsport gray) as the backsplash color for the tiles. HC-102 (clarksville gray) for the master bedroom.
This is a 3640 sq ft Bungalow and we painted most of it in a week. The floor was Travertine tile. The carpet was a nice beige with a few dk brown threads through out. The countertops were a nice dark granite. The plumbing fixtures were the same pinky beige. But we replace them with white toilets, stainless steal in the kitchen and white sinks.
Here are some before and after pictures!

I do know how Martha Stewart must have felt on house arrest. Because I didn't leave the house much. Only to go buy our Craigslist purchases (which were fabulous). I did torture my sister on the last day by spending 1 1/2 hours in a Burlington Coat Factory store!
Work Work Work. Check out my ankle bracelet (for my parole officer to know if I escaped)
Me sneaking a salad while Nola was making a craigslist purchase (she even made me drive)
Wal-Mart at 12:30am, one of my only outings
No internet at the new house so I had to sneak in some internet time at the Wal-Mart McyD's
