With the trim complete, Keri and I poured over paint wheels to find just the right combination of colors. Who knew there were so many shades of "white"... While we didn't exactly go out on a limb with our color choices, we wanted to do just the right colors that were just a few degrees off of standard.
BTW, it took some time for me to get this post up because I couldn't stand to be in the house for more than about 15 seconds when they painted on a given day. I don't see how the painters have any brain cells left and after talking to them my suspicions were confirmed.
We have always like the Benjamin Moore line and didn't see reason to change on this project. For the trim we selected Snow White (2122-70). In the kitchen the walls are the exact same color. For most of the rest of the house, we used Classic Gray (OC-23). For the dining room we wanted to go just a bit darker with La Poloma Gray (1551). I know, white and gray, pretty risky!
Classic Gray
Snow White
La Paloma Gray
As I have learned with colors now, I have no idea if these actually match the way the color actually looks on the walls, but you tell me.

| Master Bathroom. Hopefully a new post will soon feature sanded and very darkly stained wood floors. That's not a veiled way at saying the job is already done and I will be putting up pics soon. Rather, I hope it actually happens so that we can move in! |
