    Neutral Gray Paint Choices For A Whole House Makeover

    Hello dear readers! Today I am exploring some neutral gray paints for our bedroom and possibly for the bathroom. I have stumbled across a couple of beautiful gray/grey paints that would be amazing for a  whole house paint scheme as well. Let’s take a look at a couple of beautiful neutral gray paints.

    Using neutral paint colors is one of our favorite ways to warm up a room. Picking the best neutral color scheme for your home is the first step, but we'll also show you how to decorate with gray, beige, and white decor.

    Last year we finally found the perfect neutral, off white color for the downstairs of our house, so I am not looking to repaint it at this time. However, I was browsing Pinterest for serene gray paints that will work well in our bedroom and upstairs bathroom. I love the color in the living room pictured below.

    While I am unsure of the exact color, it might be something similar to Edgecomb Grey by Benjamin Moore. Revere Pewter, one of Benjamin Moore’s most popular colors, is close, but a bit darker.

    I really like Edgecomb Gray.  It seems to be a great whole house neutral paint color.

    I really like Edgecomb Gray. It seems to be a great whole house neutral paint color. The kitchen pictured above has a beautiful designer look, but it doesn’t “feel” cold to look at.  It seems to be a great whole house neutral paint color. To me is almost a creamy gray, and would be beautiful in a kitchen since it is not too dark.

    I absolutely love this living room painted in Edgecomb Gray.

     

    Edgecomb Gray is right below Revere Pewter in the Benjamin Moore paint deck, but Edgecomb Gray has more yellow in it than Revere Pewter and less pigment. It’s a wonderful alternative to beige and much more versatile.

    It is gorgeous in a bright and airy foyer as well.

    I really think this color would be beautiful in our bedroom, even though we have dark woodwork. The Edgecomb gray would contrast nicely. I think it would be very tranquil and promote sleep. Now I just have to find the right mattress!

    I stumbled upon Rowe Sturling Paint Company online. They share a lot of gorgeous design inspiration, including a round up of beautiful bedroom paint colors.

    The Edgecomb Gray or even Revere Pewter seem like tranquil neutral grays for our bedroom. I am definitely wanting to create a bedroom that promotes rest and relaxation. Now to find the perfect mattress! Finding the perfect mattress is a lot trickier than finding the perfect paint, so I will definitely be checking out mattress reviews here at https://dormreports.com/.

    Home Ownership 101: Homeowner’s Insurance Policy Basics

    What does a homeowner's insurance policy cover

     

    The joys of home ownership are many, then there are those other aspects of home ownership we all wish we didn’t have to think about like routine repairs and having to pay for homeowner’s insurance. If you are already a home owner, then you are probably aware of the specific coverage that your insurance policy provides. You may have even had to file a claim or two over the years.

     

    We have been receiving a lot of questions about what is actually covered under a basic homeowner's insurance policy. Below is a great resource that reviews those facts. If you have any specific questions about your policy, please call us today. http://www.iii.org/articles/what-coverage-is-included-in-a-standard-homeowners-insurance-policy.html

    If you are a new homeowner however, it is likely you tried to get the cheapest policy possible that would satisfy loan requirements and help speed the process of your home closing along. Once you get settled in however, it is wise to take a look at the type of coverage and make sure your home and contents will be covered in case of an emergency.

     

     

    Graphic: What's Covered Under a Standard Homeowners Insurance Policy?

     

    A standard homeowner’s insurance policy will cover:

    ~Damages incurred by  fire, windstorms, hail, lightning and vandalism .

     

    A standard homeowner’s insurance policy will not cover:

    ~Sewage problems or sewage back up in a basement. Since this can happen in any home, it is very important to purcase a rider (optional coverage) explicitly to cover sewage issues.

     

    ~Damages caused by termites, vermin or other pests.

    According to the entomology department at the University of Kentucky, termites cause billions of dollars in damage a year. The worst part is, you usually don't know they're eating your home until it's too late, leaving you to wonder—does homeowners insurance cover termite damage? (Spoiler alert: You won't like the answer.)

    Most new homeowners are shocked to find that floods are excluded in basic insurance policies! If you live in a flood plain then there are optional policies which can be purchased to cover any losses due to those perilous acts of nature. Even if you live in an area that is typically not prone to flooding, you just never know…so in this instance it pays to spend a little more.

    Theft may or may not be covered in certain instances, so it is important to clarify the terms of your policy with your insurance agent.

    It is totally natural to be thinking about paint colors, new furniture, and landscaping ideas when purchasing a new home or renovating, but it very important to be sure that you have as much coverage as possible on your home dwelling. For more ideas on how to protect your home from loss and damage, check out my post below:

    How To Protect Your Forever Home From Loss And Damage

     

    As a homeowner for over 25 years I learned many of these insurance policy ins and outs the hard way when certain losses weren’t covered. It is my hope to save you from the stress and financial loss that can happen as a result of improper coverage. I believe this outline of coverage will be beneficial and should clarify some of the questions you may have about homeowner’s insurance coverage. If you have any more questions be sure to contact your local agent and he or she can help you get the maximum amount of coverage. Don’t forget that you can always shop around for better pricing as well.

    Best of luck!

    Tips For Maintaining A Beautiful And Sanitary Cat Friendly Home

    Hello friends! Do you have indoor pets? I can no longer have cats or dogs inside the home due to allergies and risks associated with Lyme disease, but I have been blessed with the companionship of both cats and dogs as roommates over the years. As a decorator and “clean freak” this was not always an easy relationship, but I did learn a few tips and hacks that helped minimize messes, odors and kept accidents from happening. Cats seemed to be a little trickier at times, and can be the bane of a naturally fragrant household so today I will be focusing on feline friendly ways to keep your home looking (and smelling) beautiful! *This post contains affiliate links.

    Home Ownership 101: Basic Property Investment Tips

    Property investing and “flipping houses” has become a popular over the past few years. Various real estate and home renovation shows like Fixer Upper on HGTV have certainly shown how you can make extra money through property investing.
