Help me find a room to use BM Cedar Green!
Comments (16)You're right Kellienoelle, good eye! They're all different. So how do I figure out which BM color is closest to Pic #1? Honestly, one wonders if BM has realized that they make more money selling the wrong colour than the right color. Not long ago I asked for AFC-350 Tumeric & they mixed 2160-2 Turmeric. (What company has two different paint colors with the name off by ONE letter?) It would've maybe worked out, except the color in the can wasn't EITHER Tum- OR Turmeric, but Carrot-Soup with a hit of Fully-Loaded-Pampers!...See MoreCrap! I hate my BM Georgian Green!
Comments (18)Groovia, so sorry to hear you're not liking it. I know exactly how you feel! I don't think you should panic, but I also don't think you should keep going if you're instinct says "no." Finish the walls you have started and if you can, wait a day or two and just assess the situation. I've painted our main bathroom 5, yes, 5 times (it has no windows and pinky-beige tile...hard to work with!). Each time, I knew immediately after the very first wall that it wasn't right but I kept going anyway. If you wait a day or two, you'll be calmer and better able to decide if it's worth it to keep going--or if you're going to end up really hating it in the end. And below is the link to a trick I want to share for choosing a paint color when panic sets in and you can't see straight...it has really helped me to focus and choose colors based not on emotion, but on the reality of the situation. Hope it helps! Here is a link that might be useful: Choosing a Paint Color Quickly...See MoreWhat green neutral beige will go with BM AURA Caliente?
Comments (1)Vidhoo, isn't Caliente one of the Affinity colors? They're all supposed to go together. Or at least in the BM store, they bring out the Affinity fan deck, turn it face down and go, pick any three! Even if you don't personally care for the colors you've chosen, you gotta admit, they do go together. I may not be the best person to suggest colors, since I'm trying to decide on safe, comforting colors myself and am currently back to looking for the Ultimate Ivory. BM Hush is an interesting neutral beige with decided green. I actually like green casts myself. Desert Tan is very pretty, very gold....See MoreMy all but finished dining room
Comments (32)great job! It looks like your house was built like that! I love the colors you have chosen as well. I like shades on chandeliers. I put them on my brass one and felt like it updated it enough for now. Gorgeous room! I recognised the amaryllis. As a grower you may be interested to know that my great great uncle had one in his parlor that was a good 10 inches around at the base. This was back in the 70s and he was 97 and I was 19. He had had it for over 20 years. he would pot up the babies that would grow out the side. he kept it in the parlor year round watered from the bottom never moving it. btw that parlor had beautiful stained glass panels in it! It was gorgeous when it bloomed - 5 stalks of red blooms at once!...See Moregroovia
