help choosing yellow paint for kitchen walls
Comments (41)Ours is called "classic silk" by Flexbon. Like calisamcn, we like it so much we painted pretty much the whole house in it. It is soft and soothing and looks different with different lighting. However, when we were first using soft white compact flourescents in the can lights the lighting made the wall color look too yellow and also yellowed out our cabinets. We changed to "bright white" compact flourescents and what a big difference! Here is a link that might be useful: Classic silk in our kitchen...See Morecabinet paint color with marble look quartz?
Comments (47)ED, thank you. The funniest thing is there's a good reason I like it -- I used that same exact quartz in my bathroom in Florida a few years ago and I still love it. Now I'm looking for a quartz for an island in a condo in Boston and I want a bit of gold in it to pick up the perimeter cabinets and the floor. But I may just use this again! Thanks!...See MoreI found my bulbs!
Comments (20)I admit defeat. I finally bought and put in what was supposed to be the perfect bulb: Triglow BR20, 3500K, 525 lumens, dimmable, CRI 90. They look great. GREAT! And I can hear them. Waaaaaa. Of all the bulbs I have tried thus far, these are the only ones that hum/buzz. I just did one more pass online (including specialty lamp/bulb/lighting stores), and I cannot find the above in anything but Triglow or Luxrite (a few reviews said they buzz too). Actually, I did find one, but they were $25 a bulb, and we have 9 bulbs. We just cannot drop that amount on bulbs when we are over budget and the 3000k will suffice. I am going to put those back in and call it a day. This is not a huge issue. I really did want bright white bulbs that show my cabinets and walls as bright white (BM Snowfall White), and these show more of a soft white. They still look white, though, not creamy, and that is the important thing. And if I have to choose between cool and warm, I'll choose warm. And I'm sure in a week's time, I won't care a bit....See MoreShould go deeper on wall color? Currently all trim and wall are SW pur
Comments (3)IMO always a good idea to get all lighting the same and LEDs in 4000K will help with keeping colors true .If you have just moved in I would wait before doing much until you get a feel for the spaces.IMo a color insted of a white would work better a soft gray/ green would be my choice since the glazed cabinets and pure white really do not work well together and a color will bring all the elements together. I like SEa Salt SW it is really neutral but adds a color and IMO would work with what I see of your space...See MoreJenni James
