White Paint

The most frequent question I'm asked is about the white paint colors I'm using!  On instagram, facebook, pinterest, other design blogs - people always want to know which are my whites....I collect all the white paint swatches from Farrow & Ball, The Paint & Paper Library, etc. and obsess over all the subtle shades that will transform a space.  In my 200 year old  farm house with small rooms and lots of moldings and window frames, I chose soft whites and have at least a  dozen whites throughout. 

But in this house, which is a modern barn style, I want a clean, fresh white, so have chosen Benjamin Moore's Decorator White, inside and out.

Home Work

I see a lot of white paint in my future!

The exterior is all patched and sanded, painted and trimmed - ready for new light fixtures...using Decorator White paint from Benjamin Moore for the exterior - a clean, crisp white.  The interior is a work in progress as the carpenters, plumber, electrician have been busy building in new cabinets, switching out appliances, and updating all the light fixtures. Love going over there every day to see what's new.  Another 10 days to go, the painter has started indoors  and the floor refinishing will be the last step. The punch list still gets longer every time I check things off, but the house is coming back to life !  Tricia
