Favorite cream paint and a ? about mixing white/cream in a room
Comments (13)I've wondered too and I think most whites, or at least white's that aren't really stark have some "undercolor". I think you get, yellow, green, blue, pink or grey. I bought a house with white walls with a grey undertone and didn't realize till I repainted with a white with a yellow undertone years later. I liked it so much more, the grey undertone I thought was depressing. I think the yellow undertone gives you that old fashioned "linen" look. I also tend to really dislike a pink undertone and find blue makes me feel cold (ice cubes anyone?) which might be a benefit in a bedroom as I like to sleep in a room on the cool side. I prefer the yellow and green undertones myself but thats just personal preference. Might be a question for a paint store person....See Morestained trim plus rich deep colored walls????
Comments (20)Oh WOW!!! You all have fully convinced me that DH isn't crazy after all. Thank you so much for sharing pictures of your beautiful rooms! DH is ecstatic that I have been won over. We're going to go with a medium oak stain. Now to choose actual wall colors... I was going to grab a couple of pieces of waste sheetrock, prime them and use them to test paint colors on. Figured I could hange them up in rooms in my current house that have windows facing in the same direction as the room in the new house and get a sense of how the colors will look as the light changes. Now I think I'll ask the GC to get me a piece of trim (stained and varnished) and attach that to my wall color samples as well. Any suggestions on how best to pick colors (for connecting rooms) that will look good together?...See MoreNeed paint help! BM Rich Cream or ???
Comments (12)Subtle read very yellow in my bathroom, but didn't read yellow when I was at the BM store. Go figure. Paint!!! I don't know too much about paint but what I've learned is that I can narrow a paint color down to a few choices through chips, but, I can't choose the actual color unless I put it on the wall, or at least a big piece of paper and then tape that to the wall. Did you try the rich cream on the wall? I'm curious... If you want deeper do you want to go deeper towards the warm brown shades like a light caramel? I don't have a BM deck with me and my computer monitor doesn't show color accurately....See MoreNeed photos of cream/off-white inset timeless kitchens
Comments (35)[moan] oooooooooooooOOOOOooo I cannot wait until I can afford to retrofit the cabinets I have to inset doors and drawers. I absolutely love the look and feel. I now know why for 6 years I couldn't pick a cabinet door. Nothing spoke to me. So I started to settle. That EVIL "s" word. But I have plans. Always plans. Not necessarily white for me, but all these cabinets are SO beautiful! :) Thanks for the dream material Christine...See Morejillie731
