BM Wedgewood Gray, Smoke, or Palladian Blue Anyone?
Comments (27)lyban: The Mount Sainte Anne also looks very nice; but seems I did not pull a card for it when I was at BM--even though I pulled almost all the blues grays and greenish colors. I find so many times posters will recommend a color and it's not out in the racks and I need to request it; wonder why that is? Next time I go in I will ask for it, though, as it also looks a good possibility. DS is resereving judgment until I put the sample boards up as he felt the colors looked different between my computer monitor and the paint chips. I'm taking DS out this evening to finalize the mattress--there is a Friends and Family additional 10% off sale at Sears and the associate I was working with suggested I'd get a better price then....See Morei need a gray that is gray!! not blue, purple or green :(
Comments (6)Adding black to white will give you gray. This is different than mixing colors trying to get black or gray. Ask your paint store guy. But if you feel too timid to try this then check out the rooms in the link below. When you click on the photo it will tell you the brand and name of the paint they used. Keep in mind that putting a tiny bit of color sample against the gold wall will affect the way you view it. Try putting the gray paint in the middle of a large white board leaving white edges and then placing the board in different spots around the room to see how you like it with different light hitting it.

Comments (23)Well, the fun has begun and my floors are being removed. The young man I hired said [optimistically] "I can have this all up in one day!" :) Yesterday he discovered not 2 or 3, but SEVEN floors in the kitchen. (Explains why the ceiling is only 7'8" high?) So only the mudroom and most of the kitchen came up. Have to say he really did impress us with his effort (broke two saw blades in the first hour and had to go to HD for more....then the crow bars came out). DH ran into him there again 8:00 last night loading his truck with the backing boards, and he'd picked up the tile before that. One reason I hired him was that he told me proudly he was 3rd generation floor installers. Tile, stone and Hardwood. A tribe! (My son hates when I talk this way, but I think it's unfortunate the 'tribal concept' is diminishing today. You know, shoemakers father to son type of thing.) So yesterday when he left he said "Tomorrow I will have help with me." I smiled to myself. Uh huh, you guessed it! Today Grandpa (Or Wise Tribal Tile Elder) is on the job. :D The cool thing is...I'm trying not to get my hopes up BUT...the hardwood under that tile in the foyer looks pretty good. I thought it would be destroyed (might still be). The tile is this thick terra cotta stuff (looks like a terra cotta tile roof is being removed inside my house!), sitting on a mudbed, with roofing-like tarpaper under it. And it's stapled, NOT nailed down. IF it's salvagable I'll have them refinish the wood and return a couple boxes of tile. Good thing you can't hear the jack-hammering while you read the post (posts w/sound?). ANYWAY...got the paint chips yesterday (and most of the PR wallpaper removed). Surprisingly leaning toward Baby Turtle (name didn't impress me, LOL!). Thinking maybe a darker green than originally??? The ones I've zeroed in on are [clockwise from left]: Camoflage (another surprising name to like), Baby Turtle, Flowering Herbs and Nantucket Gray [far right]. The one right before Nantucket Gray called Wethersfield Moss is calling to me too. This is NO FLASH - so the color is right but it's fuzzy: This is WITH FLASH - colors seem washed out a bit. This is REALLY hard! Dark like Wethersfield Moss??? Or light like Camoflage??? Or a medium shade like Baby Turtle??? Maybe I should get those 3 in small pints and paint them on the wall?...See MoreWhat do you see after white and gray kitchens fade?
Comments (45)I'm not sure but it will probably be mixed materials and cabinet colors mixed with wood. On a side note: the house I bought has a kitchen that I would never have picked, very vibrant cherry or lyptus wood (not sure) flat front doors/drawers and a granite that looks like toast crumbs. Well, I have never had a kitchen that was so easy to maintain. In my future move my new kitchen will have flat slab doors/drawers in nice natural walnut on the bottom , a mix of painted cabs and walnut shelves on the top and a countertop that is easy to maintain. Wood on the bottom will be easier with having dogs but I'll have a bit of color on the top. The best of both worlds. The house I buy will have to go with that idea....See MoreUser
