autumn fog love.

there's a lot of talk about paint colors flying around and i wanted to briefly mention my recent favorite, autumn fog. it's a basic valspar color (from Lowe's), and it's what we decided to go with on our lockers and book shelf.

here's a tumbnail of the color (which i'm sure isn't true, but it gives you the idea...)

and here are a few shots of it in our living room...

 

i love that it's got this cool, misty feel to it... like... well, a foggy day in autumn. 

and i love the light color on the inside of the bookshelves... so much brighter and happier than the black bookshelves we were previously working with! you can really see the difference in the shot above, with the smaller, black bookshelf right there, looking so much heavier and sadder than it's autumn fog friend.

 it's a nice neutral for the fresh green that i've been digging... it allows my green to sparkle and say "ooh! ooh!! look at me!!" while still keep it balanced. i'm all about the zen in my decor :)

i still have about a quart left and am debating on whether to use it on more furniture, or to save it for maybe a room when we move [can you tell i'm starting to get excited about moving?? i'm already thinking in terms of decorating & we don't even know what city, much less what our new home will look like!!]

i'm linking in to the nester and her paint post... come on over, she's talking about her own lovely paint choices, and how to choose paint :)
