Julie: How did you pick your paint or color palette?Alicia: I saw the Benjamin Moore Historical Colors at a local paint store and loved them. I've always been drawn to blues and grays (gray is my favorite color) and since all of my old paint colors had been mishmashed over the years, I decided to go with an actual collection. I also tested my paint colors for the first time and that made a huge difference.Julie: What did you do to make it yours? When did it really feel like your house?Alicia: The exterior was painted the color of a tennis ball (with purple and pink trim) and I certainly didn't love that. All the walls in the inside of the house were painted lemon yellow and it felt like you were in the inside of a Peeps marshmallow. I'll admit it was nice and bright in here, just not the kind of bright I was going for. So the first thing we did to make it ours was repaint the exterior the color of chocolate ice cream, and repaint the entire interior. But the house felt like ours the day we closed on it.Andy: There was a moment after we had just bought the house but we were still living in our old apartment, and I went and sat on the stairs of the new empty house and played clarinet. I remember feeling like it was our house. I also remember looking at the big old-wood beams in the basement and thinking that this was a big responsibility, and that we needed to take care of this place.Wall colors: Wythe Blue, Stonington Gray, and Wickham Gray from Benjamin MooreTrim color: Floral White in high gloss from Miller PaintDining table: Monticello AntiquesHutch: IkeaPendant lights: Rejuvenation

I'm not sure if it's the rag rug, the cuckoo clock or the proudly displayed collections, but this dining room feels like a spot where a family loves to gather casually and comfortably.
