Warming Up With Neutrals

IMG_1147A few months ago, I received a call from a homeowner who needed help choosing colors for her home. Pat, the homeowner, had many collections in her home that she has made and also collected over the years:013 (2)All of her furnishings were in great condition and were going to stay. This made my job easier since I just had to select colors for existing furnishings with my large color samples from Maria:july72012 283We started in the living room and I used the largest upholstered piece in the room to begin looking at colors. Pat and I had decided at the beginning on the consult that we were going to use warm, soft neutrals to bring everything in the room together and also to highlight her collections.Living Room before painting:011Living room after painting with BEN Moore Monroe Bisque HC-26:IMG_1146See how the room looks softer? Monroe Bisque is a soft, yellow beige that matches perfectly with the cream flowers in the sofa.IMG_1145If you are seeing green on the walls in the photos, you are not mistaken! Depending on the light and time of day, Monroe Bisque can look green at times.Pat carried the Monroe Bisque into the hallway:IMG_1107Here is a before picture of a sunny breakfast room:021After painting with Ben Moore Palladian Blue HC-144:IMG_1103Such a pretty room! I suggested using a large mirror on the wall across from the window to open up the room and bring the light in.Below is a picture of the den before:042And after painting Ben Moore Santorini Blue 1634:IMG_1142 (2)Before:041So pretty after painting:IMG_1143Below is a before and after picture of one of my favorite rooms in the home.
