More Rooms to Paint

 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.

.Oarsman Blue S450-5 | Behr Paint Colors

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.   

   Sandi....So good  to know.  I want to look into that one coat type of Behr.   Covering that red will be challenging..

  1. You could paint the cabinets too. I did my bathroom cabinet with chalk paint. It's okay...

    I love the color scheme you picked. We have a similar one in our master bedroom, but it is Oarsman Blue from Home Depot.

  3. I love that Oarsman Blue! Such a beautiful color. I bet the whole place will be stunning when you’re done.

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
