I discussed the dilemma regarding paint choices for the living and
dining room. But that is not the entire story! We plan to paint the
entire downstairs (except the bath, which was recently redone).
The library and kitchen are also on the plan!
In the library, there is a bookcase and window seat across one wall,
the walls are painted a deep red.
The kitchen was redone in 2015 and was painted this same color..
The cabinets a putty color..
the granite is a white with black and putty and an occasional deep
red fleck. So finding a color to paint the walls will depend mainly
on coordinating with the cabinets. I do want it to also coordinate
with the rest of this floor. but I am thinking a deeper tone of a
blue green color.. I have some thing in mind. Of course, the
border will be gone! So old school as Amanda will say! I loved
that border!
Heehee, I am actually thinking of paint that is almost dead ringer
for the text in this post!
I have actually loved

Aegean Teal since last year, but it is Benjamin Moore... I'll have to see if
I can find it in Behr..... NO matter what, upon reflection sitting here
in the kitchen looking at this color, it would not go at all. But I do
think it would be perfect on the bookcases in the library! BTW, the
sofa in the library will be moved, even if we have to chop it up to get it
out of there. Really, we did have to take the door off the hinge to get it
in. I detest this big ole sofa!
Thank you, to Sandi, Dandelion Tea for sharing a paint she got from Behr..
Oarsman Blue
I like this and it might be a good Behr Paint to choose for the shelves in the library.
.
The paint is always lighter on the wall than the paint sample. I think this would look nice on the shelves. Thanks, Sandi!
When Lynn painted our new cabinets he told me that was it.. So I must be happy with this color.. and I am.
So I am thinking the above Pale Oak would look good on the walls.. now I need to find that shade in Behr.
You could paint the cabinets too. I did my bathroom cabinet with chalk paint. It's okay...
ReplyDeleteI love the color scheme you picked. We have a similar one in our master bedroom, but it is Oarsman Blue from Home Depot.
And it covered deep red with one coat!
ReplyDeleteNo primer even!
ReplyDeleteI love that Oarsman Blue! Such a beautiful color. I bet the whole place will be stunning when you’re done.
