I am desperately trying to pick a white and want to know if people that chose this color still love it....

We have a hall bath with no windows and chose Chantilly Lace for the walls and ceiling. It's great in there because it's a dark room. For kitchen cabinets? Seems awfully bright white, but better to hear from someone who has actually done it.

I don't have it, but I do love it. It is gorgeous! Against the advice of my designer, I have Simply White but since the kitchen is only a few months old I think it is too early to say I "still" love it.

Those with Chantilly Lace cabinets.......

I tried Chantilly lace and from the small paint chip I though I found the right white. My cab makers painter did up a sample door so I could see it. Yikes!! It was very white and cold. My Carrara is very gray also. Simply white on the chip looked like it might be too yellow so I bought a sample can and painted the back of a sample door. It was perfect. Warm enough not to look stark like CL, but not so warm it turned yellow next to the Carrara. All I can say is to paint a big piece of paper or wood and hold it up next to a sample of your marble in your space, and also to hold the painted sample next to your slab.

Ok this post has made my decision final. I’m going to paint all my walls/trim decorators white. I like that it leans slightly grey and that there are absolutely no creamy undertones. I’m going to do the walls in eggshell finish and the trim in semi gloss. My floors are a whitewashed oak and my cabinets are a mix of painted white and wood stained. Will post pics in a couple of weeks when it’s complete to hopefully help others!

BM Chantilly Lace paint for kitchen cabinets, walls, trims and doors?

Oh, I am so sorry! I forgot about this. I will have my friend take pictures when she stops by in a day or two and send them to me to post here. I promise I won't forget by bookmarking this discussion. I can tell you that I just could not be happier. It doesn't appear any other color than neutral white regardless of what direction the sun comes in or if it is at night with drapes closed and lights on. The ever-so-slightly shiny texture of the faux white silk drapes against it looks fantastic too. I'll be back as soon as I can.

Simply White walls & Chantilly Lace ceiling/trim?

I wouldn't put those two colors together either. Since you already have Chantilly Lace kitchen cabinets you should go with that color. For me that would be way too much white, so if that is what's making you hesitate and gravitate toward a warmer white for the walls, look at other off whites for the wall color such as Silver Satin, White Wisp or Paper White. Warm colors don't really go with Chantilly Lace. If you use all Chantilly Lace, the different sheens will cause the color to look slightly different on the walls as compared to the trim so maybe that will be enough difference for you. Sample before paying someone else to paint so you're sure and you don't waste your money. Or if you do it yourself you will be wasting your own time. Your bedrooms and bathrooms are opportunities to use other colors if you don't want all white. It is usually best to carry the same trim color throughout a house, but I have cheated on that if there is a doorway (with a door that closes, not just an opening) between rooms. In that case the average person won't notice if the trim colors are different.

Our exterior house trim is Chantily Lace, and while I love it and it looks great out there it would be very stark inside. I'm thinking of using Snowfall White because it looks better with my wall colour (White Blush) than Simply White, which was my first choice.

Sherri, What color did your designer suggest?

I used Chantilly in semigloss on all my doors and trims and used it in flat on my ceilings. I love how crisp and fresh it looks. I used Simply White on my cabinets and walls. It has just a touch of cream in it to give a warmer feel. I really like how Chantilly makes my trim and doors pop. It looks close enough to Simply White that you only notice the difference between the two if you look closer or gaze longer.

My kitchen is south facing, if that makes any difference.
