Suggest a BM cream/beige for bedrooms
Comments (70)Linelle, Thank you for replying. The Paint sample card and formula for SW Antique White and BM Bone White are very very close. I was told my Sherwin Williams the difference is SW Antique White has a tiny drop of brown in it and BM Bone White has a tiny drop of Magenta or Red in it (I think it was BM that used red and SW used Magenta). I would have to match the SW Antique White in the BM Aura paint and I am not sure how close they would match it so I decided to stay with the BM Bone White that I love that is in the family room that has more light so I feared it would be too dark in my home office. But after moving the painted board around (from over 2.5 years ago when I was choosing wall colors) and paint chips around my rooms (recent ones.... 4 - 5 for each color cut out and lined up in a row on white paper), I think I can't go wrong with the BM Bone White or the SW Antique White. I like the BM Palace White but I am glad you told me you liked it but don't love it like you do your SW Antique White and BM Camouflage. Any pics of the BM Camouflage for maybe the spare bedroom that had BM Philadelphia Cream in it that is way too yellow for that room and needs to be repainted? By the way, I LOVE my BM Bone white in my family room, hallway upstairs and the area going up the steps. But I only like it in the laundry room and in the kitchen and in the storage room. Lighting and what is in the room really affects the color of the paint. I have not yet bought the paint so I am tempted to buy a pint of the SW Antique White and BM Bone White in the Aura formula and try both on the wall to see how I feel. Thanks again for your help. I work in my home office many hours during the day and many times at night and when I am not working but instead on my PC doing other things like being on this decorating site as I eat dinner, I am in the home office also so the wall color is very important to me. I like wall colors that are happy and peaceful which do not clash with furniture or tile around them....See MoreAll Cream/White Bedroom Question
Comments (10)My lovely internet connection dropped and I lost what I was typing. Ugh. I know there will be a lot of people who will tell you that monochromatic is boring and you need a "pop" of color. I think if you want to have the serene room that you are thinking about you should not add a chair in another color. I think it will pull your eye straight to the chair. That is not what you want. When I was changing out my pillows in my family room (where I have a white couch, white rug) I was trying out fuscia pillows, and also pillows with lime green in them. I have lime green accents throughout my home. But what I found was those two options were too eye grabbing. It wasn't serene. They just didn't look like they belonged. Here are some not-so-great photos. Don't mind the crazy placement of the couch, a hole in the ceiling was being repaired. I had to do a lot of eye squinting imagining the couch back together. I ended up going with cream and gray pillows in various textures. Even though some people will call it boring..zzzzz....I like that it is more serene to the eye. And I am sure in a bedroom that is what you are looking for too.

Comments (8)Having had a washer overflow this summer which required replacing sheetrock, ceiling, and carpeting, I second romy718's advice. They'll bring out a water detection device and check all the walls and floors. You'd be surprised how far water will travel. If there's any remaining at this point, it's considered gray water and they'll need to remove materials. I would also call your insurance company and find out who they recommend make the evaluation....See MoreShould we match laundry tile to bathroom? What flooring for bedrooms?
