Paint Sale :)

at Sherwin Williams this weekend.  It is making me think we NEED to redo our living room/entry way.

Any color ideas?  We have a fairly small room with little wall space to paint (makes it easy), hardwood floors and a mushroom color couch.  I am not afraid of colors.  I would get new window treatments and a rug if needed.

I can deal with one color for the living room and keep our entry way as is, it is a boring beige.  The issue with the entry way room is that it flows up the stairs and I never know how to deal with that except to paint it all the way up the stairs.

Throw me your color ideas

Do you have a few colors in mind? What's in the hall now? I have a SW fan deck on my desk right now.

I love those blue/gray/green colors that shift as the light in the room changes

you should obviously paint your home so that *I* would be comfortable there

We have a green now, but it is about 7 years old and not a great green.  Too much of mint to me  

I want a fresh look.

I forget the color in the entry way.   I want a fresh, clean and updated look.   I was just looking and I think I could cut off the color for the entryway/stairs so we wouldn't have to do the entire stairway.

We did SW tinsmith. (I really like it)

We just painted our living room Palladian Blue and we LOVE it.

I just googled, and that's Benjamin Moore. Crap. I'm sure Sherwin Williams has a similar color!

Do you have to paint each room a different color? I am not going to paint my entire house the same blue, but what if a lot of the rooms are a shade or tone of blue?

Does it matter?

I always use Benjamin Moore colors. I've never been disappointed by a BM color. Sherwin Williams on the other hand, I painted my whole hallway, and all the way upstairs, and the color is all wrong. And I paid someone to do it so I hate it more because I can't just redo it myself.

I do like SW 6212 Quietude and 6471 Hazel right now.

80 percent if our house is Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter. It's be beautiful true light gray. Makes spaces feel airy and elegant. You could get it color matched

This was going to be my suggestion. It's a beautiful colour.

We have a Benjamin Moore "linen" color that I love love love.

It's like a green/gray mix whilst still totally being a neutral

This is our LR/Hall color and it's fantastic. Blends with anything and I am sure SW could match it.
