Paint color for main living area
Comments (8)Goodness, it was a busy holiday weekend. Thanks so much for the input. My biggest concern is that I can get away with a dark color in the family room. There are windows all along the back of the house, but the kitchen just has that one window and I was doing darker cabinets. I just don't know how a color like Texas Leather would look with brown cabinets. I could rethink the cabinets? But my idea was that the warm color of the cabinets would tie in with our warm colors in the family room. Hmmm. What do people use for color boards when they are trying to make decisions in new construction?...See MoreHelp with paint color for main living area.
Comments (1)I like BM Revere Pewter. It can go more grey or more taupe depending on lighting and what you put w/ it. I also like BM Porcelain Ivory, Deleware Putty and Jonesboro Cream all off of the same strip. Some people get nervous when they see that it is in the orange family but it really doesn't show orange at all. Cream Fleece on the next color card over is a favorite of some designer whose name escapes me at the moment....See Morehelp!! ISO light, creamy, cozy gray for main living areas
Comments (11)Hi Heather, I am going through what you are and found that warm grays are too beigy. I want a nice light gray that stays that way and doesn't go blue either. We are going with Ben Moore Shoreline. Also looked at SW On the Rocks which is just a little darker. Both have LRV' s in the range you are looking for and not cold. We got extra drywall chunks from the construction crew and my husband primed them so I could try them out with sample cans. Both good colors for us....See MoreAdvise on fireplace reno and main living area layout (pics in post)
Comments (3)Please do not mount the TV above the fireplace use the wall to the left past the window I often just kind of ignore corner FPs they are so have to arrange furniture . If you must have the secetional just turn it so you still can see the FP but the TV is now your focal point you can even do a whole wall of TV storage and display on the left wall The bonus is you will be able to see the TV from the kitchen too....See MoreVaness Ified
