Color to go with Chantilly Lace Cabinets
Comments (13)@Kimmy0227 - I didn't see which paint brands are Swiss Coffee or Dover White, but the ones I know are United and Porter(I think), respectively. Memory serves me that United's 'Swiss Coffee' has a lovely umber undertone, and Porter's 'Dover White' leans toward a yellow-ish undertone. It has been years since I used those colors, so my memory on the Dover White may be off, but I used enough Swiss Coffee that I *know* it is umber-based. Which ever color you narrow down, the only advice I have to offer is that you make sure to look at the other shades in that white's color family. There are a bazillion shades of "white". They will lean toward grey, blue, green, yellow, orange, and sometimes even purple. In a very small area, that may not make a difference. In a large area, like a living or dining room, it will. The "white" also needs to work with your trim color. I never choose a white from a color chart of "whites" unless I can see the darker gradations of that white's color family. I really want to know which direction that white is going, and a small paint sample does not tell me....See MoreDecorators White or Chantilly Lace with Jacobean floors?
Comments (11)Thanks so much for all your feedback! I have already stained my floors Jacobean and used a water poly.. I do want a brighter white. I'll attach some pictures in case that helps! We do plan on paneling up the fireplace or painting the brick /wood panels white .the Jacobean did stain a lot darker on the staircase for some reason..will put a runner on the staircase . Staircase north facing , family room south facing . As far as decorating, I do generally like more neutral colors..lately my rugs/furniture have ivory, light rose /light blue, and wooden tones..some grays but I think I'm transitioning out of gray. I like how decorators white has some modern flare but definitely looking for brightness and something that will look beautiful no matter what if that makes sense ......See MoreChantilly Lace Paint Dilema
Comments (68)The only time you'll ever see $35,000 worth of 2 COROB's side-by-side!!! You MAY be able to tell which one is 15 years old..... ;-) We got the new Tinter when Ben-Moore products came into ACE Stores. We could'a converted the old girl, but some of the 16 pumps were getting hard to keep in calibration. The new "Baby" of mine has 4 all Stainless-Steel pumps with Ceramic coating inside. I think it was an additional $500 per pump. The "Oxide Colorants" need a more durable pump. Why am I bringing this up??!?!??! I don't play around with Paint, OR my equipment. And....I DO have some idea about what I'm talking about after 22+ years. A little further back, with the initial set of BM when it came into our store....about when covid started: Faron...See MoreMoonlight Romantica, Chantilly Cream, or Lager Than Life?
Comments (6)KJ (9B, San Jose CA) Roses that do well in my extreme cold & zone 5a, also do well in extreme heat. That's why I hang out in Facebook group with Khalid in Pakistan, zone 9b with his temp. at above 110 F. Vanessa Bell is mentioned as an outstanding performer by Peter Schneider in Freedom Gardens rose nursery, zone 6. Vanessa Bell is also mentioned as the best Austin by a friend nearby who has over 120 roses. I don't buy Vanessa Bell since I'm into best scent and roses that last long in the vase. For soft yellow with super healthy & dark green and glossy foliage (never see mildew), plus fantastic scent like caramel candy, plus lasting long in the vase, plus big bloom at 4" across, is Tchaikovsky shrub. It's classified as floribunda/grandiflora so it's bushier and generous with blooms, even in partial shade. Roses with firm petals that last long in the vase can take hot sun better. I like Tchaikovsky way more than Moonlight Romantica (very stingy and needs week-long rain to bloom). Dark green leaves like Tchaikovsky can bloom well even with alkaline tap water. Its patent is expired, so I can root it like other roses: Evelyn, Abe. Darby, W.S. 2000, Spirit of Freedom, Mary Magdalene, Radio Times, Christopher Marlowe, August Luis, Sonia Rykiel, James Galway, the Squire, the Dark Lady, Golden Cel., Gertrude Jekyll. All money received goes to charities (Catholic nuns who work with the poor). I find that French roses like Tchaikovsky can take my rock hard clay & hot summer & cold winter better than Austin water hogs. See below 10th-year own-root Tchaikovsky in my zone 5a garden, in 3 to 4 hours of sun, compact as own-root at 3' x 2' and doesn't consume much water. Below is Tchaikovsky to compare with other large blooms (Peter Mayle at 4.5" across), Upper pink Kiss me Kate, left is Sweet Mademoiselle, deep purple is Twilight Zone). Yellow Tchaikovsky is the runner up at 4" across, bigger and more petals than Augusta Luis at bottom....See Moresusan9santabarbara
