Allison of Altamonte

Choosing paint colors can be overwhelming. Luckily, I watched A LOT of home design TV and figured out how the pros choose great combinations. The key? Keep calm and take your time with swatches!  All of the colors we picked came after we narrowed down from dozens of paint samples, taped up on different walls, looking at them at different times of day and with different lighting. Some of the colors we ultimately chose were a striking departure from the inspiration that first led us to try them. Now that the interior paint is (almost) complete, I am SO happy we took our time because we are SO happy with the results! There is nothing like a fresh coat of paint to transform a space. Not only has the new paint uplifted the feel of the home, it makes the rooms feel super clean, as if brand new again. Bedroom paint colors were the first we chose for our recently-purchased home in Altamonte Springs, FL. We decided not to remove the carpeting from the bedrooms since it was perfectly neutral...

Thanks for visiting my blog! My name is Allison. My husband, Todd, and I just bought our very first home in Altamonte Springs, Florida. Follow along as we renovate our new house that's kind of (50 years) old - tbh Todd is doing most of the work. Our fam circa 2021 So far we've had new flooring put in, a complete electrical system upgrade and had two new toilets installed. It feels like we've been painting for weeks (Todd actually has). Check out this 'before' video of the drab walls we couldn't wait to redo:  Before Times   It's a work in progress (knowing us, it may always be). We started by painting most of the walls white but knew we wanted to contrast with a dark color. Check out the navy blue we chose on my TikTok (you can follow me @allison.of.altamo):  Painting Day! Old walls / new (dirty) floors More about us and the blog: We have a 5-year-old son named Cristiano and are expecting our second son soon! I'll be sharing my favorite Orlando-area Mom/...
