HELP! Need advice on wall, trim and ceiling colors
Comments (1)bump...See MoreFavorite white for trim/ceilings/doors with a gray blue paint on walls
Comments (4)Thank you! Yes, I agree about getting samples. Mine is actually the gloss finish. If you have a lot of imperfections in the trim I wouldn't go any shinier than semi-gloss... not sure I've seen (or noticed) trim done in satin. More likely I've just never noticed it was a low sheen. If you're already looking at the BM lines, may I suggest their Advance line for your trim. It's what we used on our cabinetry and kitchen trim and it was so nice to work with. You can hardly tell the difference between what my hubby sprayed on and what I painted with a brush, it just smooths out those brush marks so nicely. Hubby said he liked it in his sprayer too. We thought it was worth the bit of extra money. It's holding up very nicely too, though it has a longer cure time than regular paint. (Something we found out when I took a microfiber cloth to some of my drawers too soon, we had to repaint those two drawer fronts. I did it when it was only about 2 weeks old, it takes about a month to really cure. Who knew that a dry microfiber cloth could do so much damage? Now I do! LOL! Apparently you're supposed to get them damp first.)...See MoreDoor and trim color to pair Kelly Moore Swiss Coffee walls & ceilings
Comments (16)beautiful! We are picking a white for walls and like Swiss coffee for trim and doors. Is that bedroom photo really Swiss Coffee on the walls and trim? The trim is so nice and bright - I see a definite contrast. Is that just due to sheen? Thanks so much!...See MorePaint Advice - Trim and Ceiling
Comments (3)I would match the picture rail to all the other trim in the spaces, but I'm not sure why the rail in the first place. Was that part of the original styling of the home (assuming this is a reno?) It looks like the rail will sit right atop the windows. The architectural details may get a little busy looking with that extra rail. Why not paint as you plan, but leave the picture rail off until finished? it can always go up later if needed. If I were going to put up a trim piece like that all around, I would be painting the ceiling a dark color right down to the rail to visually lower the ceiling and for drama.
