Streetwise, Watery, Misty Morn, IN the Moment. HELP!!!

I am going to share  what  I  think about all the time.  I don't know if you noticed over the holidays on Hallmark movies    the   rooms in the movies were  so  beautifully decorated,  but what drew my attention was   the  paint on the walls.  I fell in love with that  pale  blue and blue-green  color  with the soft white trim .  All of my favorite   movies had  that color going on.. I found this one on line to  show what I mean!!

Wait Until You See This Neutral & Twinkling Christmas Home Tour - Heather  Krout  

now without fail these rooms in those movies were always trimmed in white,,  white shutters,  white fireplace surround  etc.  ok

We are painting our downstairs  this winter.  but I cannot paint my fireplace .  the gum wood is just too beautiful to paint. plus  it is very ornate   it would be a pain to paint. Everyone says do not paint it.


I do think a really good cleaning would be  necessary, though!   So I want a color that will look  wonderful with natural wood!

 So now comes the tricky part. paint colors look so different in different light. I am anxious to get rid of that   golden cream that has been there for a couple of decades.  Yikes.  It was really good paint!  ha!   Hubs said only look at Behr Paint.. his favorite so I have!

I really love the luxurious look of this paint called Streetwise. it really looks  yummy in the dim light,   but in the morning it looks like this
Minty toothpaste!  Whaaaa!!

Now when you look at the swatch for streetwise  this is what it is



 I really liked how  the  first photo looked with natural wood  but   bleh,    the morning color is just not it!


So this color is watery.. and I do like it  but it has gotten  a bit away from the very pale color  that originally got me set on painting !

                     Do you see my problem.   too many  that are  just  a pinch  different   that are driving me CRAZY!

  And then there is In the moment

  but what if that isn't the moment Im looking for,  really!
I mean   whaaa!

so I revert to  barely blueish..

There are three I like when I visualize online which I cannot add here.  but they are

Misty Morn



Permafrost



waterfall



and streetwise  as seen above..  so there is my dilemma.. How do I choose!

 ALL THE WHILE  HUBS KEEPS SAYING  BUT ISNT THAT THE COLOR OF OUR BEDROOM..  OR  ISN'T THAT A BATHROOM COLOR!  WHAAAA!

I would love your comments!
