I painted my small, open-concept living/dining/kitchen with Simply White, and it brightens the whole space and makes it feel bigger. I don't have a lot of natural light, either. It isn't a stark white on my walls, but rather has just a hint of warmth/color to it.
Have White Dove in my kitchen with Colonial white granite countertop and Shale on my walls and I love the combination. It hit on quite well, I am going to run with White Dove on my trim, doors and windows throughout the downstairs.
I painted my rental property with White Dove (walls) and Chantilly Lacy for doors cabinets, casings. I also put in 9" plank floors that are white oak. It is gorgeous! Everyone loves it and it rented in a snaP.
In my first house, I painted the living & dining rooms, which were open to each other, White Dove. The trim, windows, and built-in bookcases were painted with Chantilly Lace. They worked well together, but I left the doors a natural wood color, and had white oak floors. I also had a stone fireplace that was grey - forget the stone, which was from the 1920’s. The combination worked really well for these two rooms that face east and south. Our house had 10’ ceilings, plus the walls of those rooms were a textured plaster; it was a technique one hasn’t seen much at all for the last fifty years or so. White Dove had a lovely effect on that plaster.
We're wanting to paint a north-facing guest room that is primarily used as a home office white and trying to decide between those colors. The carpet is a soft gray that is almost greige at times. We're wanting to have an accent wall in Hague Blue, a deep ocean navy, by Farrow and Ball. You asked about white paint mistakes - we made one in the past! We painted another guest room a brighter white and discovered that it reflects the darker blue-gray carpet in that room so that it actually looks bluish. We don't hate it but regret the choice.
I just used a II white dove in a bathroom remodel; ceiling in flat, walls are matt, and trim is satin. There is a very large glass shower done in a glossy gray tile and the floor is a Mediterranean pattern in muted grays on an off white background. Furniture grade double vanity and cabinets are walnut. Sounds great, right? One small, east facing window and the walls and ceiling look grayish by the late afternoon. Not sure I’m going to stick with this long term and the room isn’t finished yet. But I’m definitely rethinking doing the entire interior of the house the same way despite a large southern exposure. I’m thinking of sticking with white dove for trim but going for something creamier on the walls and brighter for the ceiling. This was a good trial run! The house has walnut colored oak floors throughout. Thank you for the video!
I wish we would actually get the “valuable information” like for instance, instead of those cool tones in the counter tops then which ones will actually work with the simple white and why. Or like an example of a color scheme and why it works. I still don’t know what to do...
Definitely! Got a swatch with 3 colors that were supposed to go together. The white looks yellow, then I’ve got a deep mustard and a deep purple. I love the purple but not the others. Time to paint!
Jacob, I have used white dove in my previous home, my mothers home, and my father’s house, which was board and batten built in 50’s. I was always so pleased with the results. However, we moved to a ranch style built in 1979. The garage side entrance is the one we always use. We practically gutted the mudroom and bath and planned to use white dove. It faces north and the small bathroom faces east. Whit dove looked awful. It looked SO yellow! I couldn’t believe it. I think I have decided on simply white. I tried chantilly and it seemed too bright. Cloud white was pretty but a bit dingy. Super white seemed a bit cold. I have warm brown oak wood floors. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
@@loren3220 I've been in White Paint H*LL for... maybe 20 years? I did BM Oxford white trim in my remodeled upstairs bathrooms only because I was trying to match (BM Frostine was close, too.) my semi-custom cabinetry. I chose to go with one of Holiday Kitchens (cabinet company) standard whites called, "Nordic White." I try not to focus on the the slight tone shift, but my contracter installed the cabinet company's crown molding in the entire room since the cabinets go to the ceiling. He ripped out my existing, painted crown without asking. I wanted the doors and base molding to match this cabinetry and crown color, and it proved quite difficult. For my kitchen, I will specify a custom BM off=white, but I'm STILL stuck. Leaning toward BM's Simply White or White Dove. The former looks brigher, but at times a bit "yellow." The latter looks softer, but sometimes dingy. I think Chantilly Lace will read too bright/stark. My kitchen faces west with just a sink window and a breakfast bow window. The north wall has two small windows and a view north through an attached sunroom. So, here I sit watching advice videos and reading comments from those in the same bucket.
First of all, love your videos. I am using BM Classic Grey throughout the house. One wall in the dining room will be BM Kendall Gray. Mid brown/gray luxury vinyl floor. Lots of light in living room and dining room. Using cream, grey for soft decor colours and we have black light fixtures. Also using BM Hale Navy on an accent wall in the bedroom with rest of room painted BM Revere Pewter. Looking for a white trim and ceiling colour please. Thank you!
What if I want to paint my kitchen walls and cabinets white? Should I choose the same paint color for both? Countertop is black with some light speckles.
We have used Simply White for our trim in may rooms, our basement is dark and we are thinking White Dove for the walls and Simply White again for the trim, could it work ?
I wanted White Dove for my ceiling, trim, and door as Edgecomb Gray is on my walls, but my wife don't like the yellow as it reminds her of a room where someone smoked too much! Will Simply White work with it? Or is there another color better? I will have October Mist or Olive Sprig as accent walls. Thank you
People need the try out these white as well. Oxford white, For more depth. Atrium white for a more traditional white. People say Atrium white is great for a den or pool hall or a tv room
Wish I watched your video before making a costly “mistake”. Without examining my grey granite countertops and floors, I decided to paint everything simply white. With the northern facing, it was way too yellow and clashed so badly with the cooler grey tone. Had to repaint to white dove and loveeeeed it. Wish I did it right the first time around.
I chose Simply White for my kitchen cabinets, walls, and trim. I have hickory hardwood floors and beautiful grey quartzite that has incredible movement and occasional dramatic rusty veins. It's like artwork. My kitchen gets minimal natural light. The wall color is perfect. But the cabinets and trim look cream, not white. I don't get it. The painter even used several coats. It's as if they are completely different colors; this is especially evident for the places where cabinets and walls are side by side. Very disappointed.
I painted my kitchen cabinets simply white. My cabinets were ordered from a ready to assemble site. The paint finish I used was advance satin finish. Three of my walls are BM Vapor trails. The fourth wall is a wall paper that compliments vapor trails. For a counter, i bought LG everest, a light colored quartz. My flooring is kraus Timberwolf, a grayish color. This is a south facing kitchen so the light is more "hot" but the overall effect is very zen
My kitchen walls are painted Ozark Shadows, which white would you recommend for my cabinets? White Dove or Simply White? BTW, I've been following you for a while, you are so helpful!
We chose simply White for walls and white dove for trim. Turns out in the first bedroom wall was way too yellow and looked dingy. We switched immediately to other whites.
I have a fixer upper. The whole house is a antique white (dull); that's my experience with white paint colors,lol. It looks old and dirty and probably is . Anyhow, soon I will be painting (on a very small budget). I 'm leaning to the light beiges with a white trim because the house is small and it will have a coastal shabby chic(thrift store) vibe. I want it to be sort of light and airy ,but to be cozy too. I do want to go light in the kitchen and may paint an island(table) a brighter color and I will redo the counters also and maybe the backsplash. I hope I pick the correct white and beige. I plan to paint only one wall at a time. It's really a clean slate now because the fixed and furnished elements will change (they gotta go!) I enjoy watching your vids because you have an enthusiastic, but honest approach.
I am building a new house and having trouble to choose wall paint color. My kitchen cabinet is greyhound from Aristokraf, my backsplash is clear white tiles with blue undertone. The builder painted the wall with city loft from Sherwin William and I feel that the wall color and the backsplash dont go well with each other. I want to change the wall paint but don't know which white color will match well the backsplash and the cabinet color. It could be Chantilly lace or simply white. Can you please give me an advice for this?
- Wall color usually gets changed 2-3 times before someone does the labor of changing the trim color. So I usually say are you more of a cool color or warmer color person? Then, go with the trim color that works beat with your answer.
What two Benjamin Moore white colors do you recommend that go well together. wall one shade of white and trim another shade of white. painting a hallway. Floor is a light oak color no windows in the hallway but a bathroom and bedroom door open up to the hall and both those rooms receive south facing sun. The hall gets a small amount of sun midday from the adjacent rooms. There are no other fixed elements in the hall. Just the Oak colored floor to consider. My main concern is making the the two whites wall and trim complement each other with both off whites... or would you paint wall and trim all one shade of white? I want it to feel crisp and clean with out being too stark.
Hello , I want to paint my kitchen cabinets and room receives natural light . My granite has rust , black , bridge and gold color . Floor is beige tile . Would you recommend Dove white ? What about wall and trim color ? Thank you
Hi Jacob, I love your reviews. I have red cherry kitchen cabinets and am thinking of a colour in the off whites that would compliment them. I have been thinking classic gray, dove white or pale oak. I have a SE and NW light coming into my room at the same time as its open plan so lots of natural light. Dark hardwood floors. Sofa is cream. Backsplash sand coloured. Any suggestions? I would love to redo my kitchen cabinets to off white but too big of an expense right now. Thanks for any help.

My new kitchen is dove white The top cupboards look griege and the bottom cupboards look white. They look like different whites. The ceiling is painted BM ceiling paint. I have pot lights in the ceiling. The counter was put in today. It looks a bit better. Is there undertone in the ceiling making them look griege? I read simply white is a good colour for trim with the dove white cabinets?
I am a realtor and I see so many new houses with white exterior or brick, previously red-toned, being painted white and accented with black/dark grey. For the exterior, is there a "best method" for choosing a white tone?

Firmly committed to cavern clay as an accent wall. STILL struggling with deciding on an off white for the other 3 walls in the master bedroom. The room gets plenty of sun. Pure or simply white? White duck? Origami? Any suggestions?
Hello! I just bumped into your video at the perfect time!!! I have the exact tile you compared with the white dove paint and I was 100% sure I was going to use White Dove for my cabinets and now I am not so sure !!! Do you have a white you recommend for that exact tile you show in your video with the pink undertones ??? A recommendation would be greatly appreciated because I am going crazy picking the perfect white for my cabinets !!!
I have painted so many whites ! I still don’t have the perfect color. Always looks dirty, to dark, to stark, to creamy . To--On and on. Your right I keep trying to match it to a beautiful white bedroom paint on Pinterest. I am so frustrated. I’m getting more samples Monday . ☹️

I am working on a gut reno in city row home with north and south, a tiny bit from the east.

Hi there, that's a complicated question to answer without any visuals of your home. I need to see the other fixed elements and undertones in your kitchen before I can give you the correct answer. Be sure the paint color pairs perfectly with kitchen countertop and backsplash. I wish you the best:)
You are so helpful! What would you suggest if my fixed elements are also changing? I am painting walls, kitchen cabinets and will be replacing counters. I thought it easiest and most economical to try various whites (I'm on sample number 9) because paint's easiest to change. Now I'm afraid I'm making decisions based on how it's reflecting off what's here but what will be changing in the future. This is so complicated. REALLY just wanting a nice, soft milky white that doesn't pull yellow but that isn't cold and sterile. Like a farm house I stayed in in France. Sigh. Perhaps it was that I was in France, but it was so softly white, lit up so nicely under lighting but also during day w/windows. I want to say almost a pink to it? But really just solid white, white. Like whole milk white, not white out white. Sigh again. LOVE your stuff. So glad I found you before every surface here was covered in sample paint.
Hi Kelli, thank you for the kind words and I'm happy to hear that you're finding the videos helpful:) If you know that you will be changing your fixed elements in the future then I would select the right colors for those fixed elements instead of the current fixed elements. By the way, I help with kitchen countertops or kitchen backsplash with my online packages. Feel free to check them out if you need help. France is beautiful and it sounds like the farmhouse had a lasting impression on you. I wish you the best and I hope everything turns out the way you envision it.
He did mention that White Dove has a gray undertone so, therefore, I believe it will blend beautifully. At least that what I am hoping as I am having my oak floors refinished with some gray in them!
I have White Down above wainscoting done in Cloud White. I love it, but sometimes it reads a little light yellow, depending on the light in the room. Hope that helps.
I'm debating whether to use white dove or simply white as the trim and door color for walls painted in Swiss coffee. This color combo is mainly for the hallway and public areas in which it has a sunny southern exposure, but it will also be for doors are door trim in rooms that are painted a variety of colors. Which would work better with Swiss coffee? Or which white is the neutral enough to work with different colors and undertones? The hallway flooring will be a white and light taupe checkered tile for one level, and a mid tone brown wood floor with a little grey undertone for second level. Your suggestions on what color works best would be much appreciated.
Hi Clover, that's a tough question to answer without any visuals of your home. All the undertones and colors throughout your home will play an important part on what trim color you should use for your home. White Dove and Simply White are two completely different off white paint colors. I always compare the fixed elements and interior decor before selecting the right trim colors. If those two colors are your only choices then perhaps try Simply White. I wish you the best:)
I want to brighten up my entire 1st floor. My kitchen cabinets are a medium cherry color with white oak floors throughout. I have PBarn expresso dark wood dining room. I was thinking of painting the walls White Dove flat and the trim White Dove satin. Do you think it will work?
Hi Cheryl, it's hard to say without any pictures of your kitchen. I would be concerned with the reflection of undertones coming from your cherry wood cabinets if you paint any wall a white color. I always say a lighter paint color will never make a darker room brighter. Feel free to check out the link below my video if you need help. I wish you the best:)
I mistakenly painted a hallway and my kitchen in white dove and absolutely hate it. It has too much yellow and our cabinets are FB Cornforth white. I need a new kitchen paint color that is more neutral. I'm pulling my hair out!
We did the walls in our main bathroom in a flat finish White Dove trying to pull a warm creamy colour from our travertine ish floor tiles and it didn’t do it justice at all. Watching all the videos trying to figure out what to do.
@@ChalkingItUpASMR In a hallway, alcove bathroom with no windows, we did BM Classic Gray on walls and ceiling (with warm lighting it looks more greige/off-white), BM Oxford White trim, and BM Hudson Bay (a deep blue) on the double-sink vanity. It looks very nice. But...that doesn't mean I've solved my whole-house white trim choice or for the kitchen cabinetry I wish to match! The Classic Gray definitely looks like a light gray when I turn on the shower ceiling fan's light, which is a cool LED tone.
I painted our old kitchen cabinets Morning Fog ( Sherman Williams paint). I would like the walls in kitchen to be a white white. The designer had picked Ice Cube ( also Sherman Williams) the walls now look powder blue and also makes cabinets look very blue. The ceiling is painted ceiling white. The floor is old tile that has gray bluish tints to it. Please help! I just want white walls! I am hoping the white walls will make cabinets look more grayish then blue. Thank you
@@alv22487 My painters ALWAYS want to match my BM color to a SW's "matched" paint. I kick and scream and offer to buy my own paint at BM. One time, I make the painter show me the exact, brand-new BM cans. He was a tricky one. Not hiring him again.
Jacob. when you're doing color... lighting is so important. not so easy to see what you're saying to differentiate the colors... great topic for video tho.
C Stone That is a rude comment. Have you ever been around people who have “hearing issues from birth?” Because of surgeries or a hearing devices they need to speak so they can hear themselves speak! I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS THE CASE WITH THIS GENTLEMEN... ( but from experience he sounds like someone with that issue..and I could be totally OFF BASE ). ... but I know people who are extremely THANKFUL for technology that allows them to communicate with others by their voice and not “ sign language “...

Cool goes with cool and warm with warm. If you want to play up undertones go with opposite pairings. Most people don't want to play up undertones

I am a realtor and I see so many new houses with white exterior or brick, previously red-toned, being painted white and accented with black/dark grey. For the exterior, is there a "best method" for choosing a white tone?
I painted Benjamin Moore aura, white dove., looks dull to me . My kitchen is simply white.. not sure what’s missing ... a contrast? some element.. sooo lost !! any suggestion on how to bring my room feel alive!
Painted our kitchen cabinets Morning Fog( Sherman Williams)
What color white should I use on the walls? I would like a white white. Sherman Williams designer suggested Ice Cube, it turned out looking like powder blue walls and blue cabinets .
Help...I want white walls!

Floors are an older tile with grayish, blue in it. Ceiling is ceiling white. Trim will also be white.
Sliding door in kitchen faces west/north
I painted kitchen soft candle light. It is beautiful. I’m having trouble with trim color. Whites are so confusing !!! Please help me choose trim color
Firmly committed to cavern clay as an accent wall. STILL struggling with deciding on an off white for the other 3 walls in the master bedroom. The room gets plenty of sun. Pure or simply white? White duck? Origami? Any suggestions?
awesome video, but what if we don't have fixed elements yet?
He said. WAIT
Picking a white paint for walls with terra cotta tile floors and honey cabinets? Florida sun although easy to west facing? Thanks
Hello! I just bumped into your video at the perfect time!!! I have the exact tile you compared with the white dove paint and I was 100% sure I was going to use White Dove for my cabinets and now I am not so sure !!! Do you have a white you recommend for that exact tile you show in your video with the pink undertones ??? A recommendation would be greatly appreciated because I am going crazy picking the perfect white for my cabinets !!!
the same situation 😄
I have painted so many whites ! I still don’t have the perfect color. Always looks dirty, to dark, to stark, to creamy . To--On and on. Your right I keep trying to match it to a beautiful white bedroom paint on Pinterest. I am so frustrated. I’m getting more samples Monday . ☹️
I feel your pain.

Hi! thanks for the info! Will Snowfall white cabinets look ok with Edgecomb Gray walls??
Need help with paint. My counter tops are Cambria Port Rush. Cabinets are white in color. I have a small accent wall that is painted Northsea on top with white shiplap on bottom. The kitchen and living room flow together all face East Would like a light color paint. Flooring has hues of gray and sight blue. HELP
Hello, we are thinking of painting the interior White dove or Alabster from BM. our elements are grays and beiges, some blue too. Which color do you recommend. The front of the house is northeast.
Thank you for your explanation. I have a north facing living room with a black fireplace and very light off white/light gray flooring and light gray furniture. Will either one of these color work well?
The house I purchased has Dunn Edwards Swiss coffee and we are getting new white cabinets in the kitchen. Do they need to match the trim?
Which 1 would you pick for exterior? Dark metal roof, black windows...
I am working on a gut reno in city row home with north and south, a tiny bit from the east. Bit open concept with matte white oak floors, black island, walnut butcher block and white kitchen cabinets. Looking for a black and white and wood color scheme. Would white dove work in this space? What about Whipped by Clare?
I need help to choose a color. Can you please help?
I am painting a basement with no natural light. I would like a french country look.
Any suggestions??? JoAnne
I am painting my condo, start with kitchen I have bottom cabinet light gray and top white. I have open kitchen with a breakfast bar. I want to paint foyer at the entrance of kitchen white dove and trim the bottom of recess light box above the breakfast bar super white . What is your professional advise
Thank you
my kitchen floor looks the the sample you showed in your video ...just a little lighter...which white would recommend for kitchen cabinets? and for the kitchen wall.
my kitchen opens to the dining area (one floor) so the rest of the house wall color is BM Shaker beige right now which i want to change to BM chantilly lace in the summer. please help!
Hi there, that's a complicated question to answer without any visuals of your home. I need to see the other fixed elements and undertones in your kitchen before I can give you the correct answer. Be sure the paint color pairs perfectly with kitchen countertop and backsplash. I wish you the best:)
Thank you for the information you provide.
I need some help deciding which white to use for my walls. Going to pick up the large samples
I love both colors but you are right, you have to be careful.
You are so helpful! What would you suggest if my fixed elements are also changing? I am painting walls, kitchen cabinets and will be replacing counters. I thought it easiest and most economical to try various whites (I'm on sample number 9) because paint's easiest to change. Now I'm afraid I'm making decisions based on how it's reflecting off what's here but what will be changing in the future. This is so complicated. REALLY just wanting a nice, soft milky white that doesn't pull yellow but that isn't cold and sterile. Like a farm house I stayed in in France. Sigh. Perhaps it was that I was in France, but it was so softly white, lit up so nicely under lighting but also during day w/windows. I want to say almost a pink to it? But really just solid white, white. Like whole milk white, not white out white. Sigh again. LOVE your stuff. So glad I found you before every surface here was covered in sample paint.
Hi Kelli, thank you for the kind words and I'm happy to hear that you're finding the videos helpful:) If you know that you will be changing your fixed elements in the future then I would select the right colors for those fixed elements instead of the current fixed elements. By the way, I help with kitchen countertops or kitchen backsplash with my online packages. Feel free to check them out if you need help. France is beautiful and it sounds like the farmhouse had a lasting impression on you. I wish you the best and I hope everything turns out the way you envision it.
Does White Dove go with natural and grey furnishings? High ceiling, SE facing
He did mention that White Dove has a gray undertone so, therefore, I believe it will blend beautifully. At least that what I am hoping as I am having my oak floors refinished with some gray in them!
I’d like a review on BM White Down
I have White Down above wainscoting done in Cloud White. I love it, but sometimes it reads a little light yellow, depending on the light in the room. Hope that helps.
I painted my cabinet silver satin what wouldn’t go nice with the wall and I have gray floors
I'm debating whether to use white dove or simply white as the trim and door color for walls painted in Swiss coffee. This color combo is mainly for the hallway and public areas in which it has a sunny southern exposure, but it will also be for doors are door trim in rooms that are painted a variety of colors. Which would work better with Swiss coffee? Or which white is the neutral enough to work with different colors and undertones? The hallway flooring will be a white and light taupe checkered tile for one level, and a mid tone brown wood floor with a little grey undertone for second level. Your suggestions on what color works best would be much appreciated.
Hi Clover, that's a tough question to answer without any visuals of your home. All the undertones and colors throughout your home will play an important part on what trim color you should use for your home. White Dove and Simply White are two completely different off white paint colors. I always compare the fixed elements and interior decor before selecting the right trim colors. If those two colors are your only choices then perhaps try Simply White. I wish you the best:)
@@JacobOwensDesigns thanks Jacob
I need a white for north facing room my carpet is taupe with pink undertones and my sofa is ivory
I want to brighten up my entire 1st floor. My kitchen cabinets are a medium cherry color with white oak floors throughout. I have PBarn expresso dark wood dining room. I was thinking of painting the walls White Dove flat and the trim White Dove satin. Do you think it will work?
Hi Cheryl, it's hard to say without any pictures of your kitchen. I would be concerned with the reflection of undertones coming from your cherry wood cabinets if you paint any wall a white color. I always say a lighter paint color will never make a darker room brighter. Feel free to check out the link below my video if you need help. I wish you the best:)
My walls are BM windsbreath and BM simply white on the trim
I mistakenly painted a hallway and my kitchen in white dove and absolutely hate it. It has too much yellow and our cabinets are FB Cornforth white. I need a new kitchen paint color that is more neutral. I'm pulling my hair out!
You are great. Thanks.
I am painting autrium white oc-145 on my kitchen cabinets. Hopefully will look nice
Hi Mike, let me know it goes and good luck on painting your kitchen cabinets.
What do you think of these two white paint colors or do you have any experiences on painting with either one of these paint colors?

What color would you choose on the trim to go with classic gray on the walls
We did the walls in our main bathroom in a flat finish White Dove trying to pull a warm creamy colour from our travertine ish floor tiles and it didn’t do it justice at all. Watching all the videos trying to figure out what to do.
@@ChalkingItUpASMR In a hallway, alcove bathroom with no windows, we did BM Classic Gray on walls and ceiling (with warm lighting it looks more greige/off-white), BM Oxford White trim, and BM Hudson Bay (a deep blue) on the double-sink vanity. It looks very nice. But...that doesn't mean I've solved my whole-house white trim choice or for the kitchen cabinetry I wish to match! The Classic Gray definitely looks like a light gray when I turn on the shower ceiling fan's light, which is a cool LED tone.
I painted our old kitchen cabinets Morning Fog ( Sherman Williams paint). I would like the walls in kitchen to be a white white. The designer had picked Ice Cube ( also Sherman Williams) the walls now look powder blue and also makes cabinets look very blue. The ceiling is painted ceiling white. The floor is old tile that has gray bluish tints to it.
Please help! I just want white walls! I am hoping the white walls will make cabinets look more grayish then blue.
Thank you
My cabinets and walls are SW Extra White and the trim is High reflective white. BM Chantilly white and high reflective white are white whites.
I will like to paint my bathroom sea salt walls, and ceiling Chantilly lace with semiglos paint. It that going to give me a great bathroom
I meant to say trim simi gloss
But what if you're building and have NOTHING fixed yet?!?! Ahhhhhhh
I painted simply white in my west foyer, I hate it, it’s ugliest color ever, it should be named simply light pistachio or lime headache!🤮🤢
Hi! Did you use the actual Benjamin Moore brand paint or did your painter have it color matched? This can happen if that’s the case.
Omg i've just decided to go with Simply White and now I see this. Thank you for sharing though.
@@alv22487 100%! They do that!
@@alv22487 My painters ALWAYS want to match my BM color to a SW's "matched" paint. I kick and scream and offer to buy my own paint at BM. One time, I make the painter show me the exact, brand-new BM cans. He was a tricky one. Not hiring him again.
Jacob. when you're doing color... lighting is so important. not so easy to see what you're saying to differentiate the colors... great topic for video tho.
I like your videos but you don't need to yell at us, just talk normal😊
C Stone That is a rude comment. Have you ever been around people who have “hearing issues from birth?” Because of surgeries or a hearing devices they need to speak so they can hear themselves speak!
I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS THE CASE WITH THIS GENTLEMEN... ( but from experience he sounds like someone with that issue..and I could be totally OFF BASE ). ... but I know people who are extremely THANKFUL for technology that allows them to communicate with others by their voice and not “ sign language “... Thank the good Lord above if you are not blessed with this issue! There are many, many people walking this earth like this... highly gifted, intelligent and successful....
Think twice...speak ONCE!
