Cheeky in Blue: Perfect palette for the beach...

We are so very excited to be starting Beach Cheeky in just a few short weeks, and I have definitively decided yes on the fireplace! One of the other things that I've been putting a lot of thought into is the what kind of color palette I want to go with throughout the home. I am light and bright all the way, which will be very easy at Beach Cheeky, because the first color we are starting with is all white board on board walls throughout the house. I have never had a home with white walls, but I think it's fitting for the beach and gives that crisp clean fresh look that you want when you are dragging sand in all over the place!

Something like this, actually very much like this because this is one of the builders homes in progress...

The countertop will be white Calcutta marble, which is just a little less gray than Carrera....

Calcutta is a bit whiter with gray and sometimes slight gold veining...

And while each slab can dramatically vary, Carrera typically has a lot more gray running though it, as well as tinting the color of the marble to a grayish tone, this is the floor in my daughter's bathroom which is Carrera, but I did the counters in the whiter Calcutta...so feel free to mix away!
