Pretty Paint Colors

Hi Everyone

 Happy Saturday

♥

 I am so sorry to all of you who have been trying to visit

 ~White Ironstone Cottage~

the past few days

We were Hijacked YES

Someone was able to add a "gadget"  on my blog YIKES and redirected everyone to another site
I was not alone it happened to other bloggers  too

I had no idea what was going on
 It took me several days to finally figure it out

so grateful to have you all back and very

Grateful that the hijacking is over

Many of you have asked me about the

 paint colors in our Home

The first place we will start with is the

♥

 heart of our Home our kitchen

The paint in this room is light and clean 

The walls are painted 

Ralph Lauren Nantucket White

 the trim and beadboard

are
 Behr Ultra Pure White
 high gloss enamel

Here in the dining room the walls are painted
Dolphin fin by Behr
 a soft grey that is one of my new favorite colors
the  trim and built in china cabinet are painted
 Behr high gloss white enamel

{Love}

 the way the white pops against the gray

Our living room walls are
 Ralph Lauren Crab Apple
 with you guessed it Ultra pure white trim on the windows and crown molding
Crab apple is a beautiful beach sand shade that is a wonderful neutral

{Love}

being able to quickly change the decor in this room
with just a few accessories because of the neutral color on the walls

The entry color is a custom shade
The wonderful thing about paint is you can get a custom color made to match anything

I {love} paint chips but they can be deceiving
 here is a great tip if you find a color you like on a paint chip
 get a sample of the lightest color
the top one on the  paint chip
 and paint the color on a wood paint stick
when it is dry tape it to the wall
You can always go darker and a sample paint is very
 inexpensive Dunn and Edwards is only 3.94

Another tip is to stick with just a few colors for consistency
we have just  four colors throughout our home
plus white trim and ceilings and some floors
it keeps the home flowing from room to room

I know that adding color can seem daunting but I always say
 if you don't like the color you can always  repaint it
 I {love} the way the white details pop with a color on the walls
 and paint adds warmth and character to any home
