Need Help Choosing Navy and Lighter Blue Paint for Bedroom
Comments (12)Vavavoom, it might not be a bad idea to paint the whole room one color. After the stress of choosing this color, I may not be up to choosing a lighter blue as well. My husband wants me to paint the room this year!:) Thanks. Straitlover, thank you for sharing your experience. I don't want to go through that much trouble to get the paint tinted correctly, especially since it might not be successful. Maybe if I decide on a BM color, I'd be better off buying their paint. Lukkirish, thank you so much for posting the New Providence Navy Paint photo. The color looks very nice. I was going to buy some Behr paint tonight. Instead, I just had the primer tinted. I think I will wait until I can pick up a BM fandeck. Mine is the Preview one and doesn't have those colors. I will let you know how this works out. Thanks again for all of your very helpful suggestions....See MoreHelp with Navy Blue paint!
Comments (24)Apply two coats of flat latex paint to the grasscloth wallpaper, using a roller. Move the roller vertically across the wallpaper, proceeding left to right. Allow the first coat of flat paint to dry for two hours before applying the second. Use a paintbrush to prime areas of the grasscloth wallpaper that are inaccessible to the roller. Let the wallpaper dry for two hours. Clean the roller by washing it. Apply the finish coat to the grasscloth wallpaper, using the same method used to prime it. Satin latex paint will provide the most attractive result. The two pre-coats of flat latex paint act as a primer for the grasscloth wallpaper. Although it may seem like a nuisance, apply both of these coats, or the finish may dry unevenly. Hale Navy and Naval are both nice...See MoreFavorite moody gray blue paint color
Comments (11)I’m assuming the board and batten, pedestal sink, and toilet will be white. The Carrara floor is light. A dark wall color above the board and batten will be fine! The mirror above the sink will reflect light too. Add a piece of artwork that you love and I think the effect will be striking!...See MoreHelp! Navy blue paint too blue
Comments (34)Wow Melissa R! those mockups are amazing! thank you! I went ahead and had contractor repaint to Hale Navy. It‘s still not a perfect match (more grey), but I like this combo/color better than the Old Navy. Those undertones in the old navy blue were just bothering me! I will put the wallpaper up and then decide if we should try for a better match or if it‘s good enough as is (I think it will be good enough :). This is definitely a lesson to get samples and paint swatches on the wall rather than pick from a paint chip. I’ll report back when the wallpaper is up. Thanks to everyone for weighing in!...See MoreUser

10 years agoIt's a brick colonial revival. SW Naval seems like a good choice for the front door. Not sure on the cabs. Our whole kitchen needs remodeled but we can't afford that for a long time. I might just live with the kitchen for a while before doing anything. It's the kitchen that I was considering a pass through for in a different thread.
We are moving to this house mid June and I'm obsessed! I should just start a thread to discuss all the colors in the new house because I'm pretty sure I will start a thousand threads otherwise. I love decorating a new house. So many excuses to shop!

10 years agoAfter seeing the kitchen in the HGTV Smart House, I just picked up navy samples to seriously think about painting my kitchen cabinets dark blue.
Here's what I picked:Indigo batik (that's in the HGTV house)
It looks slightly different on the two paper chips (go figure)Also SW Commodore
The others looked very strange once I had them in my house (Naval; Indigo, etc.)

10 years agoMe, too, but I'm scared going from all white to blue.
Here's another kitchen:
Maybe starting with just the lowers?
Now, IRL this one is actually dark gray, but in the picture it looks blue.

10 years agoFor our exterior shutters and skirting we used BM Blue Note, and we love it. It's a dk greyed navy.
Love love love those navy kitchens.
Also, for inspiration, a greyed navy living room
And a navy dining room in a colonial
