Sorry, KateB22, I did not see this earlier (ACK! weeks ago). If you are still deciding, it might help to think about the colors as they relate to their respective color "families." Here are some thoughts: - Dimity is a warmer, more red-based color and is generally very flattering to skin tones which makes it a great choice for bath and bedrooms. It would be gorgeous in a dining room or living room as well - in a West-facing room, I can see it glowing pink in the evening. It works well with brown- and red-based colors; red-based Pointing would work beautifully with this one. An interesting choice for ceilings. - Slipper Satin is neutral, versatile and being more grey, it works works especially well with grey-, blue- and green-based colors, like Lime White and Old White. Neutral Clunch is a great choice to go with this beautiful color, although, Pointing for accents or trim work would be a lovely compliment as well as Dimity. Slipper Satin works in just about any style home, modern and traditional. Great choice for contemporary colors/furnishings/accessories. It'd be a gobsmacker in your kitchen - cabinets, walls, trim - take your pick! - New White and White Tie are both yellow-based and look marvelous in traditional and cottage settings. They work extremely well together. Again, Pointing works with both. Each color looks great with stained wood and traditional furnishings and antiques. - Blackened is cooler and great for peaceful, Swedish style and modern-style spaces. I could see this with Dimity and Slipper Satin, however, I don't know if it would work seamlessly with the yellow-based colors. It's sublime with painted furniture; but I'd be careful using it in a room with more orangy looking wood, like pine and maple for example. This color has potential to make the wood appear MORE orangy (same with the purplish colors like Elephant's Breath). Ringwold Ground - You probably know much more about this warm off-white color than I do! Another one that could be paired with Pointing. Also, this would look lovely with yellow-based White Tie. Good with Cooking Apple Green and Green Ground. Strong White - I don't know this one as well as the others, however, it's supposed to be an excellent, bright, clean neutral white. Used with other colors it may appear extremely cool. It does appear greenish-bluish to me and quite cold; however, I've never seen it on a wall. Based on your list and stated preferences, other colors that you might want to consider include: Clunch, Skimming Stone, Cornforth White, Joa's White and Pointing. Also, the classic, neutral, more green-based Off White, Lime White (just a tad greener than Clunch) and Old White with beautiful French Gray would work well together throughout your home, especially if you have traditional furnishings. Good luck, and let us know what colors you choose!

IMO... With high-end paints like this, the primers CAN SOMETIMES make a difference. With some of the FPE primers, they develope a little "harder"/denser/more impermeable surface, slightly increasing their topcoats' stunning gloss-development. Am I saying you'll PERCEIVE a difference???? THAT'S "in the eye of the beholder"! As long as you're using the good primers, you should be good. HOWEVER >>> If you're pretty fussy about exquisite trim appearance...ESPECIALLY with a S/G... * Apply 2 coats of the BM primer about 3 hrs. apart. * Wait a half-day, or maybe 'til next day, then evenly scuff-sand those primer-coats with ~ 180-220-grit paper. * Remove every molecule of dust!! * Now you've got the optimum base for gloss-development of your topcoats. In any case, call F&B, or even FPE, and inquire about what makes their primer different! I know why (I gave you hints here...), but I want you to hear it from them! * I've used a few FPE products. * Haven't had the chance with F&B yet, other than matching a couple colors of their actual samples a customer brought in. Neat stuff! Faron

It's pretty common for older homes not to have range hoods, but happily looks like it should be relatively easy to add, from your photo. You can cook without it till you get to it, though. (We've been cooking without one for three years, and previous owners cooked without it for 90-odd years before then!) We don't have our fridge yet so I can't comment on performance, but it does meet your height requirement---the Fisher & Paykel single door bottom freezer. I really like the interior and freezer designs, though again, we haven't used it yet. Needs 69" of height for venting and 33" of width (can't tell how much space you have there?), comes in stainless (and also white), and is pretty reasonably priced. We're buying ours locally, which also ended up being the cheapest option, for whatever that's worth. Good luck---and I love your stainless countertops!

I don't know Sherwin Williams paint colors so I cannot say how any one would match to F&B. F&B All White is their brightest, whitest white without undertones if I recall correctly. What I do know is that most paint lines have an equivalent -- the brightest white. I would look at those from SW and from BM and others. A lot of the way any white will look depends on location. The same white paint will look much different in Texas, where the light is very strong and New England where it may look more gray due to the light. Noon has the brightest daylight. I would suggest looking at paint samples then. Also in the a.m. and late afternoon. See which looks best to you at all times of the day.
