The trim is White through out the house. The exception is the Kitchen Cabinets. They are a creamy white from Farrow and Ball that I painted a few years ago. I am going to do two Parsons chairs with white slipcovers at the heads of the table. The side chairs I'm going to paint the aqua I love. The table base is painted Annie Sloan "Old white", The top is an original black stain. It was a former long Library Table. I'm not "married" to the top .The question is would BM Linen or SW Urban Putty look good on the kitchen walls. Or perhaps another color. I am getting lost in all the solid white Beachy Shabby Chic looks that I see in Magazines. Does Shabby Chic only have to be white? I would love to know what you'd recommend in a paint color.

I have...Hi Claudine, thanks so much for your blog!. I have a generic question: Is there a logical way to use color fan decks to find similar colors... other than just looking through the fan. For example, I have tried Benjamin Moore's Silver Fox on the wall, but it looks a little purple. I'd like something veryclose to Silver Fox, but less purple. Likewise, I love cotswold, but want something just a bit lighter, without going more yellow, more red or more blue. I guess I could add white to Cotswold to make it lighter??? But I've heard that doesn't work well. So, I'm thinking there may be some scientific way to find the shade I want ( i.e., something better than just looking thru the color fan.)<br />Beth JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581801317070648144.post-50417264427018841782012-11-08T23:46:14.824-08:002012-11-08T23:46:14.824-08:00Hi Theresa,

There are a ton of windows and all the trim is white. We are planning on painting our fireplace mantel white as well and we are looking for a med to dark grey color to make all of the white pop. The floors are standard builder grade maple and the living area has very light almost white coloured carpet. I also have a light grey sofa in mind..any advice on paint color?

I guess I need to find a color that will follow through all the rooms. My living room has victorian furniture in it and my tables is a cherry. The dining room and kitchen has light oak furniture. I have hardwood floors in two rooms which is a medium oak color and the floor in the kitchen is white ceramic tile. I relly would like to get away from the white but I just have no idea as to what color is should go with. I really hope that you can help me with this.

My open floor plan, living/dining/kitchen area has been Ralph Lauren Sisal for the past 5 years due to my former fear of color. I am ready for change and chose Benjamin Moore Healing Aloe, but am questioning my decision. My floors are med-dark hardwood, my table and chairs are dark wood, couch and side chair are chocolate velvet, my area rug is sisal, and living room rug is a light gold trellis, my curtains are dark turquoise/smokey blue silk, my granite is beige, and my crown molding and kitchen cabinets are white. Once I got the room half painted I stopped and have been trotting myself ever since. It seems a little too pastel green, but maybe I'm imagining it??? Do you think I would be better off with BM Grey Wisp or BM Sea Salt?<br /><br />Than you so much!!!<br />JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581801317070648144.post-25285255347650656852012-06-26T21:39:38.753-07:002012-06-26T21:39:38.753-07:00In that first picture of the two trees...
