![]() ![]() We made changes to our accent colors and have a lovely room but that was a learning experience that cost me some sleep. You can imagine my attitude when I sent my daughter for a flat SW Extra White for the ceiling and they sent a bucket of Ceiling Bright White with the explanation, “that’s what people use on ceilings”. So now I had two paint colors that were neither what I had specified. I had to buy a gallon, which I would have gladly done. I later learned that they could not color match a quart. I was bewildered when they did not tint the quart of paint and told me the best match was SW Extra White. To make things even more confusing, I went to SW in my hometown to buy Snowfall to paint the nursery furniture. Since the room now had 4 coats of paint on it, we had a husband that said, “no” to more paint. They just picked one and that one was very green. I was sure it had to be the north facing room or the green roof outside or my imagination! How surprised I was to learn that she had asked SW to color match and they did not tell her that they had three BM colors called snowfall. I was shocked when a week later I returned to see a very distinct, green undertone on her beautiful walls. Using my large color boards, I was sure that BM Snowfall would be a nice backdrop for some clean accent colors she had chosen. My daughter asked me to choose a paint color for her nursery and I happily obliged. I recently had a new experience with Sherwin Williams and thought I would share. The only newer piece of wood furniture that she had that wasn’t orange oak was the tv cabinet, which is black (below). Jann is in the business, so she knew choosing fabrics was easy, but she wasn’t as sure about what to do with all of the orange oak furniture. That became the inspiration picture for the living room (below). After she had selected the fabric, she saw a picture I had posted, and in it was the same floral fabric in an ottoman. She had already picked out a floral fabric that had lots of bright colors in it to use in the room. Jann had a navy leather couch and chair that her husband really wanted to keep. Plus she had a lot of oak furniture and needed a plan, here is what we did: ![]() It was time to give her home a fresh new look and she needed advice on what colours to paint her oak kitchen cabinets.

And we all love a good before and after right? ![]()
