I’ve lived with and disliked my grey living and dining room for 8 yrs. I’m so excited to finally paint over it with a creamy warm white. Grey just feels so sad.

Thank you for showing your house painted in the colors you are talking about. It makes it a lot easier for me to "feel" the color palette and what it would like. I always try out paint samples before committing, but with so many colors on the market it sure helps to narrow down the choices. You have some great tips here. I feel confident to go try Navajo White and Soft Chamois in my mother's 90's colored home.

hi Julie! I am loving it! The man at the paint store almost convinced me to buy “white dove”, but I kept hearing your voice in my ear saying how lovely it was. It is so soft. Our house is in the woods and feels dark. This really warms it up. Thanks for your paint tips. I don’t think I would have found this color on my own. The paint chip makes it seem darker than it really is. ☺️

@sillililli01 4 года назад

Connie, a lot of people don't realize that dark colors in a home, can affect their mood, some even go into a depression without knowing why, especially over the dreary winter months. I moved into a home that had dark brown in the bedroom on all four walls, The bathroom had the same dark color. The LR/DR had a dark mustard color. I lived far too long with dark colors on my walls, floors, etc. before I was able to paint, I have yet to change the dark wood floor stain. Needless to say, I spent a lot of time outdoors, and coming in from a bright sunny day, was like walking into night before my eyes adjusted. As soon as I painted my home in light bright, I noticed an immediate change in my mood, it was like a breath of fresh air. I hope you are able to paint soon, buy the five gallon pail to save on buying the small cans, especially if you are going to paint the same color on a large area. I found two five gallon pails of white in clearance area at hardware store. I figured I could use it as a primer on the dark walls, before I choose a finish color. Good Luck.

@fionadevries1903 3 года назад

I'm from Australia, the paint brands we use are different. I plan to paint my home white, this is a great example of how to choose the right undertones for each room, depending on the direction the windows face, how much sunlight comes in and what feeling you are trying to create for the room. Here is my summary...(please correct me so I get it right). For rooms with a lot of sunlight, a warm, yellow undertone can be used. For a room with less sunlight, the yellow undertone is more obvious. For a room with less sunlight, a higher light reflection is suitable, to brighten the room. Warm undertones are welcoming, cooler undertones can feel sad.

“It’s not just paint, it’s FARROW & BALL! Look at the depth of COLOUR!” 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Farrow & Ball Pointing is absolutely gorgeous. Just gorgeous. Generally speaking, my go to selections are from Benjamin Moore - I just really love their collection of whites and off whites. In one of the homes I designed last year, I tried something different, I did painted everything in eggshell - walls, trim, ceilings and it was so beautiful. The house was painted very dark before, but it also didn’t receive a lot of light, and after it was painted it was like am entirely different house. My next adventure is to maybe develop my own custom white. I read a blog from about her interior designer than said we should all have a custom white.

@JulieBlanner 4 года назад

I feel the same way. I just spent $3000 2 weeks ago to paint my house kilim beige. It looks nice with the amount of natural light in my house. Now I feel like I should have done the white as my children suggested. This is a little too yellowish.

@user-lq1xl1qr5d Год назад

I was wondering what you think about the BM Navajo White compared to BM Linen white. I think that Navajo white has a little gray in it where is Benjamin Moore than in white has yellow/orange undertones. I was thinking of choosing this for my living room which gets a ton amount of southern light.

I have a west/east facing home with north light exposure in the common rooms-living and kitchen. Then east exposure in bedroom and master bath. Quite a difference in light values! Still, I am gravitating toward Creamy or Soft Chamois. Thanks again!

Hello from las Vegas, thank you for sharing your knowledge... could you repeat 8:01?? Soft chama-what??? I'm struggling with choosing what colors to add to my living room which is facing the East; it also has a big sliding door in the back (west) and no windows for the north and south walls... in the morning throughout the day it looks bright and lovely in there. But when the sun travels towards the west, it could look pretty yellow in there... I'm not a big fan of shades of yellow. I love pinks and browns. Any advice helps. Thank you.

My name is Kelly and my husband and I are about to paint our exterior home bricks and it’s a large 52 year old home that is painted khaki color now (not sure of the actual color) and we want to update it to a light color. I noticed in this video some bricks on an exterior home. Would you mind sharing an idea or ideas for a light color exterior on a large amount of bricks? I would be so grateful! My husband just finished the eves in Sherwin Williams-Iron Ore and it turned out beautiful, but the bricks need to be lighter. Thank you so much for any color ideas you may have. Your home is lovely and beautiful. Btw, I found you through your friend watching how to make homemade potpourri. I’m looking forward to watching your other videos.

So the sun always hits at angles. Also, the front has and part of the sides, has a wrap around porch. So direct sunlight in those windows is brief. Only when the sun is setting.

@maureentinen4135 4 года назад

Hi Julie, So glad I stumbled upon your channel. I love white but have always been confused on how to select the optimum white for a given room. This video is sooo helpful. I have a quandry. My small kitchen has cherry cabinets. The walls were professionally tissue paper 'stained' to give a Tuscan feel. It's well done and looks lovely. But, after a decade it's time to go! It suddenly seems dated. I would like to go lighter but need to coordinate with my cherry (bordering on the red/orange scale) cabinets and my brown with black/ white accents counter tops (decidedly dark). My appliances are black. My kitchen has windows on two sides but faces North and a little West. Therefore, the room is bright when the sun is overhead, but muted light the rest of the day. Thoughts? Can I achieve a lighter look without changing my countertops? Thank you so very much

@libbyneves5457 2 года назад

I wonder what to paint a new great room. It will face west looking over-a large lake. There will be a screened in porch covering the middle half of that west wall. There will be a kitchen on the north end with two west facing and two north facing windows. There will be an art space on the south end with south and west facing windows. I would like to paint the room a warm neutral white. How could I balance both ends of the great room? Very nice presentation. Best of luck and thanks for reading my question.

@JulieBlanner 2 года назад

you will want to pay careful attention to the paint LRV and utilized swatches painted onto pasteboard. This will allow you to move the paint color around the room throughout the day and evaluate the light.

@JulieBlanner 2 года назад

Cristina, it can feel so overwhelming a times, but you've got this! Since you are down to 2 wonderful choices, perhaps consider painting a small area of the wall with each color and considering from there....

Hi, please help me. I have a modern house facing north. The entry is also north. Which is the most luxorious white ? For trims I used middle antracit grey.

I just stumbled upon your Lovely channel, & just subscribed!! Timely, because I will be painting my living room soon. I live in a 1970’s ranch & the living room is the space that gets the most sun.

I am moving into a new home and it is all open concept. I want to do white throughout the whole house. My kitchen, family room and dinning room all face East. My problem is that I have honey gold hardwood flooring, bone coloured leather furniture for the living room, with a cool bone and teal carpet, dark wood kitchen table, and very modern glass dinning room table. I want the walls to appear white and I am afraid that the flooring will cast a yellow on them. How do I tone it down. The floors are beautiful so I dont want to cover them. I will be using a carpet onl;y in the family room Thanks

Julie Blanner I have a fun F&B story for you. I was in the showroom down the street from me here in Paris one afternoon when another woman walked in. It was Catherine Deneuve. The whole shop fell silent, until a salesgirl worked up the nerve to ask if she could help her. Catherine Deneuve took off her signature sunglasses and said yes, she was looking for outdoor paint for the gate to her country house! 😎

Julie Blanner She’s a little further away than F&B, but I’ve run into her three times. Once years ago near a bus stop where I was waiting, she was loading sleeping bags into the back of her Porsche for her daughter(presumably) and another girl who were standing there. Very down to Earth, despite her glamorous career. Kind of funny.
