I knew I wanted to go with white for the walls and paint one area a greenish blue. Â Who knew though that there were so many choices for white. Â I went and bought at least 15 samples of Benjamin Moore paint and swatched walls in the living room and dining room. Â As you can see, the walls surrounding the swatches were all a strange yellow…my painter said it was really old paint. Â It was probably some sort of beige but over the years had turned yellow.
My plan was off with the yellow….and brighten with the white. I started with 12 different Benjamin Moore Whites (Patriotic White, Chantilly Lace, Decorator’s White, Snow White, Pure White
I ended up choosing the following colors.
BEFORE – This little living room nook was dark and a little moody but had lots of potential!
DURING – This is what it looked like as the Newburg Green HC-158 was going up in the nook.
AFTER – AHHHHH! Yes! Â The nook looks brighter even though I went with a dark blue/green paint. Â And the white walls work!
My new Moroccan pendant contrasts well with the Jamestown Blue on the ceiling of the nook.
BEFORE – The guest bedroom had pink walls and a dark built in book shelf!
AFTER – Benjamin Moore Super White made all of the difference!
I will be sharing more of my house over the coming weeks and months and years of course!  Big thank you to Benjamin Moore coming in for the rescue with all of the paint!
Happy Monday!
