lavender_lass...I just posted a pic of our "faux" skylight and we have white cabinets with a black countertop and light wood furniture (posted recently) I definitely want to choose a more aqua-tone color. Your so right about some blue being "cold" for certain combinations. I love this site and I'm so excited to have feedback from everyone that's commented! I should mention that I collect wall tins (photo posted) (Coca Cola, Hersheys, Coffee theme, Moon Pies, etc) which has made it a little more challenging, since they are all a little different BUT I'm determined to make it all work because I LOVE COLOR especially in the kitchen!

Special thanks to Juddgirl2 and to all who made suggestions for paint color to go with PB Porcelain Blue bedding. I tried many of the suggested colors and knew as soon as I saw it that Quiet Moments was the right one. Just to be sure I took several blue/green strips into my Ben Moore store along with my fabric and asked his opinion without telling him my preference. He said they all would work, but without a doubt the QM and Beach Glass colors were perfect. I knew it but now had professional confirmation! So we are using QM in both guests rooms (both have Porcelain Blue bedding ) and Beach Glass , the next one on the strip after QM, in the Jack and Jill bathroom in between.

I think everything works well as it is now.

A Sherwin Williams employee told me that he really does not recommend their semi-gloss. The house will be painted in a satin finish, and I wanted the semi-gloss on the trim. Our painters have no problem using the Benjamin Moore paint, and I thought it would be a good product since we are located near the ocean. Thanks for your suggestion. I could have Benjamin Moore color match the most commonly used white that goes with Sea Salt. However, now I am leaning toward BM Super White. Have you used Sea Salt with white in your consulting business? If so, what would you recommend? Thanks for any help.
