The number 1 question I get asked is about our paint colors.   Today I am breaking down each room and sharing every color we picked for our home.

To start we used Sherwin Williams paint throughout our house. If I share a color by another company it was color matched to Sherwin Williams paint.  Another tip, color matching Benjamin Moore white paint to Sherwin Williams paint does not work.  I tried many samples of it.  It has to do with the base that each company uses.  I do not recommend doing that, you will not get the same color.  When it came to white paint I chose Sherwin Williams options!

NEW HOUSE: PAINT COLORS

EXTERIOR

ENTIRE HOUSE:

On the exterior of our home we chose Sherwin Williams Snowbound.  I talk all about our white paint selections HERE and give a bunch of tips.  I wanted a neutral white that wasn’t too start or yellow and Snowbound worked great on our home.  The light from the trees, etc was what I wanted.  Be sure to try on your own home because paint can be so different depending on many different factors.

FRONT DOOR, GARAGE DOORS & SHUTTERS:

The front door, garage doors and shutters are all Farrow & Ball Black Blue.  It is a gorgeous really dark Navy that almost looks black.  Love how it changes in different light.

PORCH CEILINGS HAINT BLUE:

 

We used Benjamin Moore Smoke Blue at 75% strength.  Meaning it is the same color and hues just 25% lighter.  You can read all about our haint blue colors HERE.

COURTYARD DUTCH DOOR:

Here we used Benjamin Moore Smoke at full strength.

INTERIOR COLORS

INTERIOR WHITE:

We used Sherwin Williams Alabaster throughout our entire home.  It is on ceilings, walls, trim, cabinets. . .anywhere you see white.  I loved the warm white effect, but it is not too yellow.  We tried this color on the exterior and it read really yellow.  Again, this is why lighting is so important.  Snowbound on the interior was too stark white, but we loved it for the exterior.  Our home is very traditional so the warmer white just feels cozy.  I love it.  We used eggshell finish on the walls and satin on trim and cabinets.

BUTLERS, MY OFFICE & PANTRY DOOR:

In all these spaces we used Benjamin Moore Smoke.  I love keeping colors consistent throughout a home.  This is the perfect neutral blue color.

GEOFF’S OFFICE, BRADEN’S ROOM & BRADEN’S BATHROOM:

We used Benjamin Moore Hale Navy in all of these spaces.  I love the richness of it and it still feels neutral.

GAME ROOM:

We used Farrow & Ball Railings in this room.  It is a very dark navy, but slightly lighter than Black/Blue which we used on the exterior.

GAME ROOM BAR:

I wanted a neutral mushroom color for the cabinets to tie in the blue, black and white and coordinate with the plaid carpet we did in this room.  Sherwin Williams Shiitake was the perfect color.  I did a bunch of swatches and some read too yellow, some too pink, green, etc.  This one was just right.

AVERY’S BATHROOM:

I wanted a sophisticated pink/coral that was not too young in this space.  We chose Farrow & Ball Pink Ground and I love it.  It will grow with her as she gets older.

AVERY’S BEDROOM:

This was the same color we used in her room at the Farmhouse.  We loved it so much we used it again.  It is Sherwin Williams Wallflower and it is a soft lilac/grey color.  Again, it is a sophisticated girl color that can grow with her as she ages.

Ok, I think that covers all of our paint colors.  Please let me know if you have any other questions.
