Another thing I love (besides chairs), is paint colors! I think it would be a blast to work for a paint manufacturer, designing new colors and then naming them! I guess that would be an odd career to have, but I could really get into it!
Now, the walls are almost all bead board in our cottage. To me, there is only one way to paint bead board walls.....WHITE! Crisp, clean, fresh looking, white. Do you know how many different shades of white there are?? Hundreds. Fortunately, I already have my favorite white. I chose it years ago! It’s a Benjamin Moore color and it’s called.... Simply White! Perfect name for a perfect color! Not too blue, not too yellow, not too warm, not too cool, just right white!
It probably doesn’t make sense to rave about colors and then talk about white. But white is a color to me and it makes a very important statement in the decorating scheme. With a clean white background, the colors on the furniture and artwork will pop! The patina of the old hardwood floors and some of the antique tables will contrast beautifully and will become more noticeable. Besides, it’s a sunny beach house; it just works!
This is not the beach house; it’s where I live, but don’t you just love “simply white” bead board walls????
However, so that it’s not overly boring, the bedrooms and bathrooms will have a little color on the walls. “Sweet Bluette” , “Palladian Blue”, “Outer Sphere”, and “Cameo Rose” are some of the colors I’ve chosen. Of course, the colors tell you absolutely nothing! And my photography won’t capture the colors at all on a color wheel. Hopefully, when the painting is finished, I can get some good interior photos.
Speaking of, the painting begins today and should be finished by the end of next week, Lord willing!!!!
SO MUCH FUN!
