What are our Paint Colors?


To me, one of the hardest parts about moving is paint. Picking new paint, trying to match the previous owner's paint, purchasing paint, painting paint...you get the picture. One of the most helpful tricks I discovered is creating a paint schedule. This is a room by room guide to which paint is used where. Not only is this helpful to you as the home owner, but it is an added bonus for the buyer when you go to sell. No more trying to match paints or figure out what sheen you used where. It is all perfectly spelled out for you on your paint schedule.



All that to say, here is a quick break down of our paint colors for ya. 



Door: Benjamin Moore's Stratton Blue in Sherwin Williams Super Paint Satin Finish. Shutters: Sherwin Williams' Midnight Oil in Super Paint Satin Finish. If I had to do it again, I would use their highest gloss finish for both the shutters and the doors. It hides imperfections and looks fabulous from the road. Brick: Sherwin Williams Exterior Acrylic Latex Satin Finish in Dover White. Exterior Trim: Sherwin Williams Exterior Acrylic Latex Gloss Finish in Dover White.


 Entryway walls: Sherwin William's Cashmere paint in Mindful Grey, Low Lustre finish. Entryway Trim & Interior part of Front Door: Behr Premium Plus Interior/Exterior paint in Eggshell Cream, High Gloss Finish.


Living Room Walls: Sherwin William's Cashmere paint in Mindful Grey, Low Lustre finish. Living Room Trim: Behr Premium Plus Interior/Exterior paint in Eggshell Cream, High Gloss Finish. 



Dining Room WallsSherwin William's Cashmere paint in Mindful Grey, Low Lustre finish. Dining Room Trim: Behr Premium Plus Interior/Exterior paint in Eggshell Cream, High Gloss Finish.


Kitchen Walls: Sherwin William's Cashmere paint in Mindful Grey, Low Lustre finish Kitchen Trim: Sherwin Williams ProClassic SemiGloss Interior Oil Base Paint in "Match Cabinets" (we literally took one of our cabinet doors to Sherwin Williams and had them match the color so that the trim and the cabinets were exactly the same). This is my favorite trim paint thus far because it is the perfect white. Kitchen Ceiling: Behr Pure White in Matte Finish



Den: Sherwin William's Cashmere paint in Mindful Grey, Low Lustre finish Den Trim: Sherwin Williams ProClassic SemiGloss Interior Oil Base Paint in "Match Cabinets"

White Bathroom walls: Sherwin William's Cashmere paint in Mindful Grey, Low Lustre finish White Bathroom Trim: Sherwin Williams ProClassic SemiGloss Interior Oil Base Paint in "Match Cabinets" 


 Blue Bathroom Walls: Porter Paints Garlic Clove in Eggshell Finish Blue Bathroom Trim: Behr Premium Plus Interior/Exterior paint in Eggshell Cream, High Gloss Finish.


Bedroom #1 Walls: Benjamin Moore's Sea Salt in Sherwin Williams Cashmere in Low Lustre Paint


Bedroom #2 Walls: Benjamin Moore's Stratton Blue in Sherwin Williams Super Paint Exterior Paint in a Satin Finish. (I would not recommend using exterior pain on your interior walls, but I painted on a whim and was too lazy to go get more paint!)
