I committed, finally...

I committed to the main color for our new home...it was not easy, there was a lot of second guessing, but in the end I am so happy with the selection and excited to see it go up. Let me introduce you to my new BFF, White Down by Benjamin Moore...

**I have mentioned I do not like to use color swatches on the net, this is what I pulled, but it so doesn't match my chip, uggg.

This will be the color that all of the cabinets, casings, baseboards, closet shelves, and the wainscoting that is throughout the main level of the home will be painted in (possibly the main level walls as well). I put up numerous large samples of colors from P&L & BM, kept them up for a couple of days in the home so I could see how the color was affected by the natural light that comes into the home. 

 
This color was it, it works so well with all of the marble I have selected, there is no yellow, a tinge of gray that will play off of the chrome & antique nickle fixtures, yet it is warm.
 
And as a reminder, today is Earth Day, take care of the only real home that we all share. Mel xo
