Hahaha. In trying to be brief I left out the details. I'll add those now with no intent to embarrass you but it is what it is. At the time I was living in Europe earning a modest and barely adequate salary. I was living in an affluent city on the Continent where shoe stores mainly carried high fashion styles like Italian shoes (brands I forget) and Swiss Ballys. Not only were they MUCH too expensive for me to afford, they were also mostly not available for my US Size 13 foot - people where I lived were on average shorter than me and had smaller feet. Shoes I referred to as my walking shoes, a casual style of comfortable leather shoes, had worn through and were falling apart. I couldn't wear them anymore. I'd looked and looked where I lived and found nothing suitable in a size and price that would work for me. Around that time I had a business trip of several days to Copenhagen. It was my first trip there. One day I had the afternoon free and decided to walk around downtown. I came upon a shoe store and walked in. Imagine my delight to find they not only had a wide selection of shoes at very modest prices because of a sale, but that my size was well within the range of what they normally carried (Scandinavian men at the time were taller and larger than men in countries to the south, including where I was living). Ecco was a brand I hadn't heard of but that was mostly what they had at this store (Ecco is a Danish company). So at a time when I thought I was out of luck and faced with only unsuitable shoes like Ballys for $300 and up, the timing of a business trip unexpectedly gave me the chance to buy a pair of Eccos for about $50 in Copenhagen. As I recall, those shoes lasted for more than 10 years of occasional wear. The experience made me an Ecco convert. My brief words left out any glee I still recall well about being able to find shoes at a greater than 80% discount compared to my alternatives. The normal price without the sale at the Copenhagen store would have been about twice as much as what I paid but still less than half of what shoes cost where I was living. I remembered I bought them in Copenhagen because of all of the background circumstances. If anything about the experience was something to brag about, it was how cheap they were and how long they lasted. I mentioned neither.

Lori - I don't have Pure White or White Dove trim. I do have BM Ballet White (eggshell) on my walls with Swiss Coffee baseboards, doors & ceiling. The Swiss Coffee was painted many years ago and is likely Dunn Edwards brand or a paint match to that color. The Ballet White was painted last summer and I used the BM brand. It was so much work to paint myself, so I left the doors and baseboards to remain their original Swiss Coffee color. I did paint the dining room chair rail Ballet White (semi-gloss) because I really wanted it to blend in with the walls. I hope that this summer I have the energy to paint the doors and baseboards because I would like them, also, to be Ballet White (semi-gloss).

I think there's some wiggle room in terms of contrast, don't think it will look like the same color. Here are the notations so you can compare and see what you think.

It isn’t painted but I am painting it and have already deposited money. I live in the South and we love painted houses. I'm using Romabio paint that will allow the brick to breathe and should last 20 years.
