Will super white look good on doors?
Comments (4)MY DH LOVES super white; two of our bedrooms are painted this color, along with the ceiling and woodwork, and I think he would paint everything super white, if he could! If it was just up to me, it would be something not quite as bright, but the rest of the house has grey walls, so the super white woodwork looks fine. And after pictures were put on the walls, along with bedspreads, etc. the bedrooms look fine, I don't even think about it anymore....See MoreSuper White - now I see what all the fuss is about
Comments (24)That's a really good point, Lisa. I actually spent a lot of time thinking about it. I can't post a picture of the kitchen I am redoing until tonight. It's in a PDF and I can't grab the image. DH will do it for me later. Your image is great. Thanks for the mock up. I think real life looks pretty different than magazine photos in general. But there are a few things that come into play for this specific look in my specific space. First, I don't expect the kitchen to remain pristine while I am busy working in it, however I do put everything away once I am done. My mother spent many years training me ;-) Second, there is a place for everything, so clean-up is a snap. The kitchen is quite large. The island that is currently there is 17 feet long. There are 23 feet of tall cupboards parallel to the island and 12 or 13 feet perpendicular to the island (not sure about the last two measurements off hand). All the windows are on the long right hand wall of the kitchen. The one element I was not willing to change in the interest of aesthetics was my oven stack- it's a very pretty oven stack (Gagg) and I really, really tried to convince myself to get under counter ovens, but that started to get difficult too- so I settled on having the stainless stack- the Gagg ovens are pretty sculptural in their own right. Oh and lastly, I gave up counter seating (along with any storage on the other side of the island.) Counter seating is not something we use much, outside of people chatting wile people are cooking - which I love -and so will put two ghost stools (even copying that) off to a corner. The kitchen table is where my children do their homework- and the first one os off to college this fall. Also I never serve meals at the island. The island is often used as a buffet. That is probably way more than you wanted to know about my future kitchen! I really do appreciate the feedback. I am amazed at how generous this community is with providing ideas and expertise to one another....See MoreHELP! Super White walls and trim look totally different!
Comments (6)Benjamin Moore used to have stock colors that you could just pull right off the shelf pre-mixed but those days are gone. You need to have most everything mixed these days. I don't know if Super White is normally made in a pastel base though. Also, because your trim has shine to it, it's going to look different than walls and it's going to look different just because it's a different surface with different shadows as well. Also, it's oil based so it's going to yellow over time but this should take a long time, not right away....See MoreSuper white trim with super white wall?
Comments (5)Lay your paint sample onto a piece of computer paper. The undertones will jump right out. If the color has yellow undertones, you will definitely be able to see it. We just built a house and used BM Chantilly Lace on walls and trim in eggshell and gloss, respectively. It is a neutral white-no blue, yellow nor green undertones....See MoreNewyorking
