Thanks so much! The PO originally had the beams stained a dark forest green and we could either sand and refinish all 12 - 20' long beams or paint them. So we went with white and really like the result. Thanks for your opinions, I feel more confident about continuing the brazilian cherry now. Love GW!

I have the Ivoire formula for Emerald matte on the can and it is correct according to the official recipe for Ivoire paint in a gallon (double checked). The base paint is correct too. But the gallon colour does not even resemble the paint chip or the Color-to-Go. When I discuss the mismatch gallon, I'm directly comparing the paint they gave me spread on the paint chip - and the gallon Ivore was not even close to the same colour as the paint chip. Quite truthfully, it is like a lighter version of Believable Buff - I'd accept it as a match for Believable Buff before I'd accept it as a match for Ivoire!! In terms of how the real Ivoire looks on my walls (the paint chip/Colour-To-Go version, not the mismatched gallon paint), I have painted Ivoire on a lot of test walls, so I have a good feel for how it appears in my house - yellow with apricot undertones and I absolutely love it. This faulty Ivoire looks like a kind of muddy/murky beige-yellow - not the same colour at all. I was flabbergasted when the gallon of Ivoire looked like an entirely different dingy beige colour - even the guy who mixed it thought it did not seem correct but he wanted me to take it home and see how it looked at home in the lighting it would be in.

Grover’s pillow is one of my long-time favorites ( I have the square version in one of my ideabooks.) However, I am wondering will the plaid sofa be in the same room ? Not sure that would work with the succulents print, but I do love it on your chairs.

Thanks. it would just be two finishes in the office/back foyer and kitchen, the brown and the natural oak, though I didn’t mention the large family room off the other end of the back foyer that is wide board pine in a yellowed oil based finish as well. probably done at the same time as the kichen. So yes, actually three. Good point.
