My House – Interior Paint Refresh

August 21, 2017
  • Share

This weekend, I had the first party at my new place.  It was soooo much fun.  Best of friends AM and JE were in town with their kiddies; they were all staying with me at my new Beverly Hills casa.  I decided to throw a casual “Taco Night ” party for them and 40 of my family (sis DS, cousins etc) and dearest and best L.A. friends (BN, SN and more).  The party went off flawlessly, except for the fact that I was in the shower when guests arrived! The taco guy was a hit and so was the house!  It was so much fun finally having a place to call home and to invite everyone whom I love the most!

So, the scoop on the house….I moved into the house exactly three weeks ago.  Wanted to give you a tiny glimpse at the before and after.  I’ll do a big reveal later.  When I first saw this three bedroom, two bath Spanish style home in the canyons, it was desperately in need of a makeover and lots of brightening up.  I turned to premium paint company Benjamin Moore for my colors.

I knew I wanted to go with white for the walls and paint one area a greenish blue.  Who knew though that there were so many choices for white.  I went and bought at least 15 samples of Benjamin Moore paint and swatched walls in the living room and dining room.  As you can see, the walls surrounding the swatches were all a strange yellow…my painter said it was really old paint.  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.

  • Benjamin Moore Super White OC 152 (all over the house)
  • Benjamin Moore Newburg Green HC-158 (living room nook)
  • Benjamin Moore Jamestown Blue HC-148 (living room nook ceiling)

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!  The nook looks brighter even though I went with a dark blue/green paint.  And the white walls work!

My new Moroccan pendant contrasts well with the Jamestown Blue on the ceiling of the nook.

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!

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.

Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Mart Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Martha's Vineyard house. I rented this house for our two week stay in Martha's Vineyard. A few minutes walk to the center of Edgartown. The house was heaven. We were the first renters to stay in this newly built house.
