| You know how I love my whites and neutrals in my home. Well..... during the sunny days this looks really bright and pretty. Since I do not have a fancy camera just my iPhone I have a hard time really capturing the pretty in pictures. Anyway this is the before sitting area. Lots and lots of white. |
 |
| We took everything out of this area and I picked out a neutral warmer color for the walls. I went with Sherwin Williams Casablanca. Normally I am a Behr paint girl but I could not find a warm beige I liked so it was Sherwin Williams. It is a creamy beige in the white family. I have a hard time with cream colors in this home. The beiges always pick up green and the walls then look green to me. |
 |
| I was really careful to pick a cream color way away from the blue or green zones. I stayed in the yellow zone. I also put the swatches on the wall for a few days to see how they looked in the light of day and at night. In the past I have found colors for the walls and at night time the walls would take on a whole other color. To avoid this I put the swatches up for a 24 hour period to see it in the different lights. |
 |
| The color is Casablanca. It is a light cream almost the same color as my sectional. Soft but it brings some warmth into the room. |
 |
| This is the sitting area with the new wall color. The new color helps to bring some color to all my white decor on the walls and makes the whites pop. It is a gloomy freezing rain day so this color is a nice addition on these gloomy days. |
 |
| This is the top of the cabinet that we re loved into a TV cabinet. I did not like the pattern on the top of this cabinet. I felt it looked dated and too 1980's for me. I wanted something more farmhouse/cottage. |
 |
| Soooo that wonderful man of mine is re loving the top of this cabinet with his handy tools. We are almost done with this piece and I will have that to show you hopefully this weekend. Stay tuned. I have to laugh because taking everything down off the walls to paint started a whole thing!!!! I know you DIYer's know what I am talking about. It was switch a roo with some pieces. Now after switching some things to other walls it left me a big area wall in the dining room to fill with a new treasure. We are heading to Michigan tomorrow to my shops and I am hoping and keeping fingers crossed I will find something to fill that wall space. Wishing you all a good Friday and wonderful weekend. Hugs, Kris |
Sooooo pretty....love the new color!!!! Can't wait to see the changes you made to the TV cabinet. Have a great weekend!

Oh wow, Kris, what a lovely swap!! The cream is so dreamy and warm. It really makes the white accents pop. I can't wait to see what Terry is doing to the cabinet. You guys always have the best ideas. Stay warm!! Big hugs!
ReplyDeleteI love the creme color. Very warming to your home. My house has white walls but all of my decor has a lot of color. Can't wait to see what you do with the TV cabinet.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that new color! Brings so much more warmth. It's so fun to watch how you transform things.
ReplyDeleteWow Kris, I love the cream color for the walls. The color is nice and bright and I'm looking forward to seeing more changes in your home. Have a good time shopping this weekend Kris. :)
ReplyDeleteI really love that beige Kris! It adds just a little more warmth and does make the whites really WHITE! I never thought I'd like beige, my my new little home had all a tannish beige wall, that almost looked like a light chcolate mik! and I really like it.. is warm in the winter and seems cool in the summer, and the white and light beige things I have really stand out. I guess I'm now a beige girl! Have fun on your next adventure! Marilyn
ReplyDeleteKris, I LOVE that color! I'll have remember that one. It looks great, and is perfect against your whites. Can't wait to see what Michigan gives you this time. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteKris, l love it. This makes your pieces stand out and get noticed. I can't wait to see what Terry is doing. I know you will find what you are looking for in Michigan. Have a great time!
ReplyDeleteThat color really warms up your space - looks so pretty! Lol, isn’t that the truth? We move one thing and that starts the whole ripple effect! And even with just your iPhone camera, your pictures are beautiful. Can’t wait to see what treasures you find!

I really like the contrast the beige brings. It really defines your whites so well. Can't wait to see what you find on your trip!
ReplyDeleteThe warm color makes the white pop. Great job on selecting the paint. I know you will find something you love while shopping. Have a great weekend Kris. xo
ReplyDeleteYour new colour looks great Kris and I'm Looking forward to seeing your next update. Happy treasure hunting for something wonderful! Gilly UK xo
ReplyDeleteKris, the new color is fabulous. It gives the space a new look and it is warm. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI like it Kris! If I find a paint color I like I usually go to Home Depot and tell them the color name and manufacturer and they have the dupe on file. I really like working with the Behr paint and have used it for years. I used to use Benjamin Moore but Home Depot has the mimic for all their colors-and it's quite a lot cheaper.
ReplyDeleteI love the new paint color on your walls and yes, it warms the area up a bit and makes the whites really pop. Is that the same sofa that you had? I love how it looks in your home. I miss my white sofa but between Scruffy and Coco it would be an ongoing disaster. lol. They are worth the change.
Hope you found something for your bare wall that you love and that Terry The Magic Man got the top of the cabinet looking the way you want it to look. xo Diana
I think paint colors are so hard to decide! I fret over them and do what you do and leave the swatches up for a while. You chose a beautiful one and it makes your white things pop. I’ll look forward to seeing your redo of your cabinet’s top.
ReplyDeleteMy new laptop - for whatever odd reason - is now letting me comment on Blogger blogs!! Sooo...I love your beige wall. It really makes the whites pop.
ReplyDeleteI love what you guys are up too. This type of clever work and coverage!
