Paint Colors

For anyone interested, I am posting the names and codes (if I have them) of the paint colors in our home.

Foyer

The foyer and the connected hallways and stairwell are all painted Toasty Grey by Glidden, color-matched at Sherwin Williams.

Dining Room

The Dining Room is a west-facing room with two large windows, so I was also not afraid to use a darker color in here.  It is the same color as our living room.  Hands down, the most compliments I received from visitors are about this paint color.

The light tan stripe between the moulding at the top of the walls is Toasty Grey by Glidden.

Living Room

The living room is east-facing with lots of morning sun.  The entire back wall is covered with 4 windows and a half-lite door, so I was not afraid to try a dark color in here.  The compliment I received most from visitors is about this paint color.

This color is above the cabinets.

SW Toasty Grey

 

This color was used on the pantry wall that wraps around into two hallways.

The cabinet color is a color match to Basketry by Behr, using Sherwin Williams ProClassic Semi-Gloss latex paint.

Powder Room

This small half bath is hard to photograph, but Toasty Grey is a very pale tan.

I have also successfully painted over all of the honey oak builder-grade cabinets in the house.  In the bathrooms, I used Revival Mahogany by Behr in a semi-gloss finish.

Master Bedroom

The master bedroom color was one of my hardest decisions.  As a result, I ended up mixing some colors and therefore it isn’t a specific color name.

It started out as Cairo Brown by Ralph Lauren

But I felt like it wasn’t brown enough, so I added a quart of a darker brown we had bought as a tester (can’t remember the name).  Then I felt like it was too dark, so I added a quart of the white base to it.  Silly me.  It turned out to be the nicest pale brown neutral – not too gold or grey or green.  But I have had to disappoint a few people that wanted to know a paint color name.

Master Bathroom/Closet

I originally thought I would paint the bathroom and closet just a shade different than the bedroom, but since I had such a hard time with the bedroom color, I just chose a completely new color for these rooms.

The vanity is painted Revival Mahogany by Behr (760B-7)

Guest Bathroom

Toasty Gray is a very pale tan.

I sanded and stained the front of this vanity, but the side is painted Revival Mahogany by Behr (760B-7)

Guest Bedroom

2012

After switching rooms with the office, I chose a new paint color for the guest bedroom (a grey with blue-green undertones).  With the walls now grey, I sprayed the furniture glossy white for a higher contrast.  This room is still in progress.

Ocean Kiss by Behr (510E-3)

When we first moved in, I staged this as my office/craft room.  Ultimately I decided to turn this into a guest bedroom.

The headboard, dressers, side table and chair are all painted Canyon Echo by Glidden (00YY 63/024)

I turned the closet in this room into my mini office.  I painted it two shades lighter than the bedroom walls: Ice Folly by Glidden (510E-1)

Office

2013

After some soul-searching, I came to the conclusion that even though a separate dining room was on our house wishlist, we just didn’t use it except a handful of times since we moved in in 2007.  I asked Bradley if he would like to have his office on the main level, close to the kitchen instead of being tucked upstairs.  He decided to give it a try, and I think it is working out well for us.  I did not repaint, so the wall color is the same.

2012

After switching rooms with the guest bedroom, Bradley and I picked out a more grey-mocha paint color for this room.  This room is still in progress.

 Squirrel by Behr (790D-5)

 

2007-2011

Bradley does a lot of freelance work, so it was important for us to have a space for him to work from home.  This is the color he chose for his office.

Pepper Spice by Glidden (90YR 18/177)

His favorite color is orange, so in addition to the curtains and accessories we have put together, I painted a few stripes on the wall behind his desk in Bonfire by Behr (270B-7).
