Fire Rebuild: 11 Paint Colors!

I heard that this project has become a legend among the Ramona painter scene. Our paint palette totals at eleven colors, and we win the prize for the most colors used on one job! The painters were grumbling a bit at first, but by the end they were taking pictures left and right. Sure is beautiful, all those shades... and worthy of much photography.

Entry:
Walls are neutral base color, to be glazed at a later date.
Ceiling is muted sage green between the beams.
Dining Room:
Walls are beautiful soft blue with beige undertones.
Celiing icolor and beams are continued from the entry.
Halls:
Walls and barrel arch ceiling are painted the base color for the glaze.
Great Room:
Walls are done in the same base color for the glaze.
Ceiling is in the same sage green as the entry and dining room.
The fireplace is soon to be stuccoed when the exterior is stuccoed.
Master bedroom:
Gorgeous raised ceiling inset in creme color.
Soffit same blue as walls (see next photo).
Master bedroom:
Walls and soffit are painted in a fresher blue than the dining room.
The arched niche at the bed wall is a deeper version of the same blue.
All of the blue will be antique glazed after the halls and great room are done.
There is a dark pewter color in the powder room, which will have an additional custom oriental cherry blossom pattern painted in a wallpaper style. We are waiting for the job to be cleaned up before doing any custom painting. The same dark pewter color was used on the ceiling in the wine cellar. In the guest casita we brought in another color - a russet wine color for all of the bedroom walls. It is really a nice touch to separate this as it's own individual space. I'm sure I'm forgetting a color or two... 11 total...
