I know that color well. It’s a nice warm gray. I used the same on the first level of our home up North. But went a shade lighter in some rooms and a shade darker in others. Prefer more than one shade or color.

I always ask about what colors are in the formula because that seems to help me see undertones.

I can drive myself crazy when it comes to choosing paint. I have used the Sherwin-Williams consulting service, but I did not use the recommendations. I ended up choosing what I personally liked — though the consultation did give me a place to start by narrowing down the choices. (I went deeper than the one that was recommended. White woodwork seems to allow deeper colors.)

What helps me the most is springing for those little sample cans that are mixed to whatever colors you think you might like. Then I paint good-sized pieces paper or poster board and hang them around so I can look at them for a while, at different times of day, in different lighting. S-W has kits for this.

I smiled when I saw your question. After weeks of being at home, I am starting to feel hostility toward my couch. I am afraid I am slipping mentally into an entire redecorating project.

I used the Home Depot app to figure out colors for our home in Michigan when we were getting ready to sell. It really helped and gave us the opportunity to try different colors that maybe were outside of our thinking. We ended up with a color we would have never thought we would like and the finished product when done was awesome and we loved it!!

I'm a sucker for what I call a warm white. I have lots of paintings/art work that gives the pop of colours without fighting with overly colored walls. And I find the off white always makes the home feel bright and large, but the trend these days is the grey tones, which can be quite classy.

You mentioned teal, we used a light blue. Our home up north I painted all three levels a light blue with bamboo wood floors, plantation shutters and when people walked in, they said, it feels like we've gone to Key West. When we listed the home for sale, we sold it to the first couple to come and see the home.

So when we moved here we had Investment Painters paint our inside the same color. I don't have a better photo right now, but this will give you an idea.

Been there, done that. Last month I put up 24 photos. I went on eBay and bought 24 photos 8"x10" of old shows and movies that I liked. Then went on Walmart website and bought 24 frames, only $14 for six with glass front. They came bubble wrapped and free shipping. Put everything on the wall in three rows.

I have always been a fan of your decorating and enjoy each and every share of your home.

The cost for her consultation was $95, but it came with a $50 coupon for paint at Sherwin Williams.

p.s. Thanks for the pictures, Graciegirl!

It is available, at least it was prior to coronavirus, at all SHerwin Williams stores. I took advantage of it and was very happy with the results although it is a process. At first I didn't like what she picked but as it has grown on me. When I am in the room and study it, I see why she chose the colors that she did. I would have had 3 or 4 colors on the wall before I found one I liked.

My house is so small I only had to buy I board of crown molding.

I was once told that you take a favorite accent pillow that has colors in it and use the colors in that pillow all over your home.
