Favorite Navy Blue Paint Color
Comments (16)After seeing the kitchen in the HGTV Smart House, I just picked up navy samples to seriously think about painting my kitchen cabinets dark blue. Here's what I picked:Indigo batik (that's in the HGTV house) It looks slightly different on the two paper chips (go figure) Also SW Commodore The others looked very strange once I had them in my house (Naval; Indigo, etc.)...See MorePaint All Sides of Kitchen Island Naval Blue or two sides?
Comments (10)thanks everyone for chiming in. A small commitment, the front side! Never considered that, Wilson853! Agree with "busymom"--work with accents rather than making a huge change. Right now, the painted island is what we might call a trend but it has some classic appeal. But I know me--will I want to stay with this color scheme for 5-10 years? I don't see us moving as we've downsized and built a home to fit our retirement needs. I really like some of the photos I've seen of painted center island. Instead, I think I'll have the great room re-painted from builder beige and see how that affects the space. Thank you so much. You have all helped me sort this out! I did paint the guest bathroom cabinet and it looks sensational! That's how I caught "the painting bug."...See MoreHelp with Navy Blue paint!
Comments (24)Apply two coats of flat latex paint to the grasscloth wallpaper, using a roller. Move the roller vertically across the wallpaper, proceeding left to right. Allow the first coat of flat paint to dry for two hours before applying the second. Use a paintbrush to prime areas of the grasscloth wallpaper that are inaccessible to the roller. Let the wallpaper dry for two hours. Clean the roller by washing it. Apply the finish coat to the grasscloth wallpaper, using the same method used to prime it. Satin latex paint will provide the most attractive result. The two pre-coats of flat latex paint act as a primer for the grasscloth wallpaper. Although it may seem like a nuisance, apply both of these coats, or the finish may dry unevenly. Hale Navy and Naval are both nice...See MoreNavy Blue paint struggles. Not Purple?

Comments (28)I went through 24 sample pots looking for the perfect shade of blue for my dark kitchen, so i definitley can empathize! Have you considered Benjamin Moore Van Duesen blue. It is a ”light” navy, but I see no purple or Green. Who knows how your light will present it? (BTW, I ended up throwing in the towel on finding the perfect blue, and went with cream instead...)
