    Wow, I just applied the sticky paint sample onto a white posterboard and then stuck it on the existing painted wall for a true look. Thank You so much for sharing!

    I just saw your video and was so impressed I changed my mind about the colors I wanted to paint my living room and bedroom. My living room has very light soft bluish very light grey couches with light taupe and soft white tables. Lots of light in the living room.
    My bedroom furniture is white and no headboard. Not a lot of light in the bedroom. Planning on keeping the blue- grey bedspread with white accents as I love that color.
    Do you have and recommendations? My home is a small two bedroom so I would l like to keep the colors on the lighter side. Thank you so much!!

    Hi Ashley, we have British Colonial/India Hicks style with very dark eng wood floors, jute rugs, BM Chantilly Lace on most walls and brightly colored Caribbean art that really pops on the white. We just had our kitchen cabinets repainted to SW Snow Bound and are looking for a wall color (open concept) that has some color in it but not a lot. I have banquette cushions that are covered in a bold green fabric that I don’t want to change. I have Delacatis white granite. The space tends to be on the darker side. Not a fan of gray, beige or griege colors. Would like blue or green. Thank you for any help you can provide. Would you be willing to do a virtual or phone call? Thank you!

    The paint swatches I've been considering are all LRV 18-32 😆 Maybe this is my cue to play with some lighter ones before committing. Didn't even know I'm dramatic!

      Very hard to see without seeing the space. You don't want something too bright but also need enough contrast, so it will be a lot of trial and error. If you need more help, I am available for virtual consultations!

All my walls and trim work are done in accessible beige. My hardwood flooring is all throughout the main areas are graphite gray as well as the cabinets. I have granite for my countertops which I love, Luna Pearl. My fabrics in all my furniture are linen. I have cream/oatmeal color in my area's rugs. I know my walls have a green undertone. What is the best accent color should I choose with these neutral colors? Thank you for your time.

    What to do when you have 90's orange toned oak floors in an open concept condo that has white cabinets with carrara marble countertops? I feel I have such a ying yang situation. I don't know how to bridge the warmth of the wood floors with the coolness of the marble counter tops and bright white cabinets. It's a struggle...lol

    Hi I enjoyed your video. I’ve been looking at paint chips for months. We have an open concept home , 2 story family room. I love warm colors . We need an update. We have Sw restrained gold on most of our walls in main living areas and kitchen. We have sw Dover white trim color. I do t think I will like picking a paint color thst is too light ? We live in the northeast and have long winters here’. . I was excited to see you showing yellow paint ! I have seen other pics in decorating magazines showing some yellow paint. I’m thinking of painting with SW Netsuke ? It will be lighter than what we have but I’m not sure if I’m going to feel like I’m updating enough? I feel stuck . Our family room and kitchen face south . So we get a lot of light on those areas . Would appreciate thoughts and suggestions. 😊

    If you have LR cabinets in an open concept can you paint them different than your kitchen cabinets?

      If your kitchen cabinets are white and you want white cabinets in your LR I would keep to the same white, but otherwise, no. Things just need to flow with your decor.

Got so tired of the yellows. Now have Behrs “Mocha Light” in 1/2 bath, kitchen and family room. Love it! What are your thoughts on this color. Could you please check it out. It looks amazing with white accents. Thanks. Loved your video.Paint is so hard to choose. It looks different on every wall. Lighting is everything, I truly believe.
