Help with BM Revere Pewter....
Comments (14)chispa, I thought it looked like cement too when I tested it in my house. And my house has walls with the folds (very sublet, but they're there) from the plaster in them, so it really looked like cement! I went with Cape Hatteras Sand, which I LOVED, and still love in my two windowless bathrooms. But, I think I'm going to change the DR in the near future. Those are the three rooms where I've got the Cape Hatteras Sand....See MoreBM Revere Pewter - darker accent match?
Comments (7)You know, if you work with Aura colors, the initial PR on them was that they share a particular tone (iirc it's something about the kind of colorant, but someone like funcolors would know more about that) which coordinates them such that they'll all work with each other, supposedly. The game was to pick any three colors from the deck and you'd be able to make a look with them. That's why they were called "Affinity" colors. You might want to look for tones you like in that set of colors and know that they're 'scientifically' designed to be able to play well together. Hope this maybe helps you become less dazed and confused......See MoreSunny Day pics of BM Revere Pewter w/ Dark Trim!
Comments (18)Patty cakes, Do you think that med. grey small lumbar pillows on the leather chairs would get 'lost'? I saw 2 on sale at JCP yesterday and almost got them but then thought that they might be too dark. IKEA has some nice charcoal throws but I really think that I'd like to try my hand at sewing a few. I get what you mean about not adding a 'color' to the rm. and I agree. I have checked out grey curtains but I have this weird fanatical thing about all of my curtains matching if they can be seen from another rm.! Will check out Parma's sexy rm! Jacy - That's exactly how RP looks w/ my white trim! I have a sickness you know. A paint sickness. I admit that I have a sample of PD. In my house it got a bit too purpley for me. There's an excellent episode of Find Your Style where they did a rm. in Hot Spring Stones (1 up from PD) and the accent wall PD. The accent colors were Silver Sage. It was beautiful! I saved that episode for a very longtime. There was also a woman who used to post here who did her bedroom exactly the way your thinking. Her sign on was Girlwithaspirin. Maybe you can do a google search and a pic will come up somewhere. Caroleoh - Yep - that's the rm. that was BT! It's such a small room that there are only so many angles that I can get pics of. I highly recommend BT!!!! Truly if I'd hadn't begun painting the rest of my downstairs such neutral but rich colors I would never have parted ways w/ BT but I just felt that it wasn't working w/ the whole overall concept that I was going w/ and that I really, really like alot. I can't wait to post finished pics of the downstairs. And I mean finished pics! 3 more pairs of curtains to buy (3 more to glue pom-poms on too), get DH to hang the DR chandelier - and maybe, just maybe, if my decorating piggy bank has enough money - get my big black and white print for the hallway....See MoreOff-white cabinets look yellow on BM revere pewter.
Comments (11)some of these may work better w/the brown tones. if doing a tile splash, bring in something w/some variation, like that tile here. I also gave you a warm ORB hardware choice. the tiny nickel knobs just disappear. notice the runner w/the warmer whites/tans and soft blues. The soft blue is a natural coordinating color w/your browns. I like the warm wood stools. perfect choice. now bring in some other colors (like the soft blues or greens) warmer whites, and the stone colors for the walls. last thing you want is a gray. I like these tiles too. Bedrosians Makoto Tatami beige Tilebar Byzantine Latte is also a nice color Lunada Bay agate taiko cortona Also Tilebar Cloe Tile-Cream now this would be amazing... I believe it's Seneca tiles, copper brown blend. (they have regular subways too) Look how good this looks you can't use anything bright white against those cabs. it will only make them look dingier. you need creamy off-whites in the yellow zone Repainting those cabs will be well above the 6K mark. repainting the walls, removing the brown backsplash, and tiling w/one of these, will make a world of difference, and be cheaper...See MoreLaurie
