need a good creamy white benjamin moore color to paint cabinets.
Comments (36)Lucretzia, it has been about 5 months and so far, so good. We also have a dry bar adjacent to our dining room and the granite guys forgot to seal it! We got red wine stains on it right away...it is a bar after all! :) I managed to get them out with bleach...thank goodness...and hubby ran to the hardware store to buy a sealer and we sealed it right away. We also spilled wine on the island (which was sealed) and it wiped up easily...no problem. So, I assume as long as it is kept sealed, we should be ok. Not only is our granite honed, but it is also pitted in some areas. It is pretty cool and we get lots of positive comments about how unique it is. The only problem so far with the pitting is when my 4-year old daughter paints at the bar, I have had to use a little brush to get paint out of one of the "pits" already. No biggie, but if the counter was polished, it wouldn't be an issue at all. We had polished at our last house and it was super easy to keep clean. That said, I would do honed again in a minute. It really suits our space. I think as long as we maintain the sealer on it we should be fine. The good part is due to the movement of the stone, even if it does get a stain, it will probably blend right in! :)...See MoreGood SW exterior color for painted brick home?

Comments (3)Gorgeous house!! Truly!! All I would do is paint the top half/ the greenish color of the house. Leave the bottom which looks like a limestone? Beauty! Would it consider a blue door? Like a deep rich almost navy? I’d paint the brick on the garage to match. Or whitewash. And leave the steps as is. Focus on landscaping? And maybe new garage doors?...See MoreNice
