bronwynsmom- I have a question for you. If we decide to use Powell Buff on my bedroom walls, do you think Window Pane could be used successfully on the ceiling? We are thinking about going with the P.B. because we are trending toward a more neutral color for our bedroom and using the Window Pane, Rainwashed, or Sea Salt in our master bath. Our tile flooring in the bathroom is the color along the lines of the colors I have mentioned. Can't go too blue because of that. If you think one of those three would look better as a ceiling color for the bedroom I would appreciate your ideas. Thanks so much for all of your suggestions. I love the sea salt color too. So pretty!

birdlover6--I just always thought neutrals were boring. Now I see them as tranquil, and as great backdrops for colorful furniture, paintings, etc. Also I moved from an old house with lots of character to a new one. I had it painted before we moved in (big mistake--I should have waited, even though it's more of a hassle) and I guess I thought bright colors would give it personality. I do like some of the colors. A small study is apple green with white molding and built-in bookcases. My bedroom is C2 silk which is a gorgeous blue grey and my bathroom is C2 Mistral a deep greyish purple, and another bedroom is aquarium, a gorgeous C2 green. I wouldn't change any of those rooms. But living room, dining room, foyer, kitchen, and maybe family room (currently yellow) could use a beautiful gray palette.

brdrl, love your book-adorned entrance, so very cool love all the colorful rooms. Ingrid and Martha, your dining rooms are so very pretty. Aktillery, what a great color. Love the raspberries, the blues, the tans..the purple of course:) Well, I could go on and on tried to take some pics today-mostly the color is not transferred correctly when I take a picture. Maybe if somebody more understanding would take photos.. I guess though it will be real-estate photographer:) And the house won't be the same anyway. So I figured- let me take pics, even if they are wrong, chopped, etc-at least I'll remember how it was, for myself First floor: Master Bedroom: Kids' rooms:

I wouldn't mix the two. White Wisp is a clean blue green gray and BM White Dove is ecru. Would you wear and ecru shirt with a silver gray suit? No, you want to either stay with the clean blue green gray or go with a crisp clean white, not a yellow gray white. It is hard to get two whites to work well together and most often the best answer is to use one white in different sheens just like Patricia recommended.
