Choosing Paint...

Choosing paint is exciting...the choices are endless. 

Where is one to turn? 

Houzz, Pinterest, blogs

Yep...I've been doing a lot of research and have found the exterior colors for our new home.

They are actually part Sherwin Williams, part Benjamin Moore.

For the porch ceiling we chose:

"Lauren's Surprise"  by SW, it's a beautiful, peaceful blue.

The trim we chose was a BM color "Cotton Balls". 

 My contractor only uses only SW so I took the BM sample and they mixed it for SW.

...and they're having a sale this week on paint and supplies! yippee!

For the exterior shutters we chose "Revere Pewter" by BM...again switched it to SW.

Next to these samples is our brick. It's called Lafayette Blend.
What do you think?

Next is deciding on interior colors.

 "White Dove" is all the rage...it has a hint of gray.
Here it is with the "Cotton Balls" I was thinking as trim.
Hm...

I have to think on this one for a while.

Be back soon!
