Welcome to The Farmhouse Friday Link Party #79!
Hey guys! How was your week?
Last week Farmhouse Friday had the most linkups to date! If you’re a regular linker upper here, thank you so much for making this party so special! If you’re a newbie here, welcome and thanks so much for joining us!
The painting saga to repaint our blue-gray walls to gray-gray walls continues here this week. We learned some hard lessons about choosing the right color of gray paint with our 21 foot walls:
The old color we’re painting over is Pelican Gray by Benjamin Moore. Don’t get me wrong – it’s a very nice color. If it wasn’t for the blog, we wouldn’t be repainting. The blue-gray wall color just didn’t work in photos I took for the blog because more times than not the wall color would go bright baby blue in the photos. The new color is Agreeable Gray by Sherwin-Williams. It’s a much warmer gray but it isn’t quite a greige (gray-beige) color.
In other goings-on this week, I shared my colorful farmhouse fall porch on the blog:
This was an easy one to put together because I kept it simple by only using pumpkins and mums. It’s very different color-wise than the neutral farmhouse fall porch I shared the week before:
Which porch do you like best – the neutral or colorful one? Obviously I like both 😉
This week’s features:
Halloween is just around the corner, so this week’s features are Halloween themed!

I like the new paint color, Michelle. We’re looking at doing the same and you’re right, it is so hard finding the right warm grey. Great Halloween features this week! Thanks for hosting and happy painting 🙂
