Comments (4)Faron, thank you so much for your reply. I didn't see it when I checked a few days ago. I decided to take a chance and ask the paint staff at Home Depot to try to adjust the color. The guy couldn't figure what the formula for White Dove meant either. He speculated that it couldn't be in 348ths because that small amount of colorant would have no effect in a gallon of paint. The formula in the HD computer for White Dove in Flat Enamel base is 52 drops of C, 8 drops of E and 8 drops of I. He made a few attempts to adjust the color by adding some combination of the said colorants but the final result was too pinkish yellow. So the bottom line is that you were right, Faron. I'm still glad I tried to fix it though. I have more peace of mind about wasting paint once I'm sure there's no way to salvage it. Maybe I'll use it to paint the garage - probably the only room where I won't be as picky about the color! By the way - One of the main reasons I keep using Behr paint is that it's relatively inexpensive. Changing my mind about the color (which seems to happen more often than not) would be way too expensive if I were using higher end paint....See MoreLampshade advice
Comments (8)Anglo- I wish there was such a thing near here! I live in a very rural area, unfortunately. immcnit and torrey- you’re probably right and I should go with a lighter neutral. ann- I like the pleated shades you show. Nice and dressy. I agree with you that the lamp may be a bit undersized for my puffy couch. I have a taller stouter porcelain lamp I can switch out for if I decide to, it’s just not quite as pretty! oakton- Jm so glad you mentioned the art is too high! You’re right and I hadn’t realized it. I’ll lower it tomorrow. I know you’re right, also, about the lack of contrast, but I’m so in love with my new babies I can’t consider anything else right now! (head in the sand, nah!) When I paint this room I will probably go with a bit of color on the walls. bette- lovely lamp and shade, thanks for the suggestion. Also love the idea of a colorful throw. This one is an heirloom but it maybe could find another piece of furniture to live on:) I just made the floral pillow cover and it could use a more colorful companion as well. I like the idea of navy shades for the sconce, though they may be hard to find....See MoreKitchen paint color with cream colored cabinets. Help!!
Comments (18)I’m in the same boat as you except my cabinets are a horrible antique white (yellowish beige). We just painted our walls alabaster white and love it. Of course my cabinets are still horrible so we’re going to paint them as well. I notice your cabinets are more of a true white... maybe off white, so I think alabaster would work well. It’s a popular color because it can go with warm colors or cool colors. I have warm accessory colors throughout my house and it works perfectly with them....See MoreNajeebah
