Thank you! Finally someone who isn't speaking in a different language when discussing paint colors.😊 I want a whole house minus bedrooms color. Accessible beige (SW) is way too dark and in back at square 1 My fav gray is Stonington Gray. Bm or sw not really sure.
I'm so glad I came across your video Whitney. Now I have a better idea of how to paint my new ranch style house. I wish everyone would share links to the paint colors they use, the way you did. Would you happen to have any color suggestions for a sun room? The previous owner of this house just painted all of it, (including the ceiling), beige and I find that to be very boring. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
So happy to help! Since I’m not familiar with your design direction you could either go light and airy with neutral toned pastels like a soft sea foam green, or you could go dark and moody with a rich burgundy, navy, deep teal, or even black?
love these! just picked up greenwich and weathered moss sampled and both look so good! I'm leaning more towards the weathered moss for the living room :)
I have pine we are using for a chair rail. I want to use the color u used for the shiplap wall. (And the Greenwich village on top) Did u use a rolling brush or regular brush 🤔 👀 also my ceilings will be the same knotted pine should I do a darker stain? So hard for me to visualize things.
Hi Olivia, This is going to be so beautiful! have you already completed the project yet? I think a darker stain on the ceiling would be stunning. It would feel very rustic and give the room a feeling of a higher ceiling. Most people think that darker colors make spaces feel smaller but the opposite is true.. with darker colors the walls or ceiling fades into the distance unlike and with lighter colors it brings those surfaces to the foreground. Are you asking what kind of brush I used to paint the shiplap? I used an angled paint brush to get in the cracks then I used a roller.
Not sure what color I want to paint my room. My whole life my bedroom has been a bright yellow and I’m nervous to change it because people say yellow makes you happy and I’m nervous any other color will make me sad… but I definitely am ready for a change.
Hi there! I loooove yellow too! You can always add yellow into your room with pillows, throw blankets, vases, art. I know it seems like a daunting decision but remember it’s just paint and you can always change it back. You could also leave one wall yellow and paint the other three something new..
Great info. My wife and I are remodeling our home in more of a Scandinavian style with light French oak floors and white walls. Was considering ultra pure white or nano white. Any thoughts on which shade of white would be best? We have lots of window and natural light. Thanks
Hi Skiba! I love Scandinavian style homes! I have never worked with Nano white but from what I can tell it is more warm toned. Scandinavian design is very clean, crisp, white, bright, and airy while still being cozy. I would stick with Ultra Pure White to keep the space crisp then use ‘hygge’ type decor to add warmth - jute rugs, baskets, through pillows and blankets... Are you familiar with hygge? It is the Scandinavian way of making spaces and moments cozy, welcoming and present. Let me know how it turns out!
Hi Desiree.. I knoowwww!! After I uploaded the video I realized I didn’t include a clip of the whisper white 🙄 Google images and Pinterest have great photos of it if you’re looking to see it on a larger scale.
Painting interior, the whole house in Manchester Tan, what is the best neutral white for the trim in the whole house. Im keeping the honey oak cabinets in all wet rooms if that helps?
Hi there! That sounds beautiful. If you’re sticking with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace or White Heron would be nice. White Dove is a little warmer but could still work as well!
Hi! I have been on the hunt for a video that might show the shade mesquite poser. if you know of anyone who has used that shade or any rooms with that color I would love your suggestion!
Which gray would go well with sandy/beige kitchen countertops? I want to paint my oak cabinets but don’t have the money to change the countertops to white. I am trying to tame the warmth of my kitchen if that makes sense. Thanks
Hi Neshma! I totally understand wanting to tame the warmth. If your walls are bright white you could do a deeper shade of gray here are two pins from Pinterest that might help. pin.it/JWM8RuP pin.it/3lt2e4p
In both of the pins the upper cabinets are either exposed shelving or painted white - this prevents the upper cabinets from feeling to bulky with a darker color. Good for thought.
Hey there! It could be because of what you were painting over? What was the original color? Did you use a primer? Exterior paint might have a slight tint to it to make it suitable for outdoors - check with your paint supplier and see if that’s the case.
Lighting plays a HUUUGGGEEE role in how paints look in your space! Especially whites and light grays. They ALL have undertones and you have to pick the undertone that goes best with your decor or go a bright clean white but at the risk of it looking sterile. I went with a green undertone for mine because blue and yellow just was not what I was going for!
@@hocineted7594 I am definitely not an expert lol but have been through ALMOST every white out there! Shoji white is VERY yellow. Simply white has a strong yellow undertone to me also. Ballet white was not in my arsenal so I can't speak to that one. It's really going to depend on the look you are going for, your lighting and what undertone you are ok with. Yellow and blue were not options for me. I was ok with a green undertone but decided on a black and white color scheme for a more neutral base. I'm going a farmhouse type style. Whisper white and shoelace were definitely in the running for me though.
stacy boyett I like yellow undertone, but between simply white and shoji white which is better for the bedroom ? Does shoji white look white or grayge , my bedroom is located in the east, and for style I want Californian look.
Hi Nicole! You’re safest bet would be sticking in the whites/off whites category. Depending upon your hue of purples you could go with a weathered moss type neutral. If you’re going for a Victorian farmhouse vibe with Royal purples you could do a deep hunter green with brass hardware.
Hi Vanessa! There are no rules... you could paint the trim black, salmon, hunter green.. whatever as long as it makes you feel happy. If you go with the same color for trim like whisper white it will be seemless and most people won’t notice the walls are off white. If you did ultra pure white it would be a subtle contrast. I love the way off white walls like Swiss coffee look with ultra pure white trim. It’s so elegant. If you want the walls to look like a color choice then contrasting trim color is best. If you just want to warm up the space so it’s not ultra pure white sterile then the same color trim is just fine! Hope this helps.
Hello can I paint the interior and exterior house with same color, I painted the interior with Swiss coffee can I use the same color for exterior, is it possible ?
I’m pretty sure you can have Home Depot mix exterior paint with the Swiss Coffee dye mix. Some exterior paints can only be mixed in certain colors so double check with your paint provider.
@@WhitneyBaldwin I’m a professional painter. Hang time refers to the ability of paint not to run when applied heavily. Behr has vibrant colors, a good paint for spray applications, but found it to be a bit thin. It runs a lot more than other paints. But if you do 2 coats it’s fine. Benjamin Moore you can lay it on heavy, 1 coat, no runs. But Behr is a decent DIY paint that is affordable. Ever try Glidden? I think it’s superior to Behr. And less expensive. To each his own as they say😃
Ahhhh, gotcha. That makes sense - Thank you for the reply and explanation. I’m sure Benjamin Moore paint is fantastic and a luxurious experience when applying and I would love to be able to afford to use it everywhere! This old farmhouse is over 7,200 sq feet and I simply can’t afford that much premium paint at the moment. Looking forward to the day that I can though!!
I'm sure there are many more serious things to be triggered by other than a very generic term like "you guys" I'm sure anyone with any sense knew she wasn't actually calling them a guy...
Thank you this is so helpful
Love love this video (so helpful)
The finish explanation is spot on! Thank you!
Happy to help 💖
Behr Swiss coffee is just the best white ever. I have redone four houses and I always have a room to use it in.
Thank you so much for this comment! I was leaning towards painting a nightstand and antique dresser the "Swiss Coffee" color to match a bed I bought.
This is exactly the video I needed! I'm thinking of trying weathered moss and greenwich villiage
Fantastic!! Let me know how it goes 💖
Very informative!!
Thank you ! Just what I was looking for 🙃 thanks for the time u take to do this vid... it help me decide wjat color use in my house 🙃
My pleasure! Happy to help 💖
Very helpful video! Thank You
I searched weathered moss by beher because I literally just painted my laundry room in it today!! I’m obsessed with it against the pure white trim!
Right?!? Yay!!! It’s literally the most gorgeous color - especially with crisp white trim.
Great info thank you!
Hahahaha informative with personality love it, I can tell you would be a blast to hangout with. ❤🎉😂🎉

It would be lovely if you make a house tour video. I would love to see how you renovated the whole place.
I would love to make that video but the house isn’t totally ready for that yet. Maybe some day!!
Wonder why Sherwin Williams doesn’t have eggshell. They say satin is eggshell. No it is not!
I'm deciding between beur's polar bear or whisper white for my bedroom, which one do you think is better?

I swear by ultra pure white.
I wish you showed the whisper white color in your basement
Hi Desiree.. I knoowwww!! After I uploaded the video I realized I didn’t include a clip of the whisper white 🙄 Google images and Pinterest have great photos of it if you’re looking to see it on a larger scale.
Whitney Baldwin no worries! I ended up going with Swiss coffee for my condo!
Oh nice!!! Do you like it?!

I’m kinda stuck, I have Antique white which pulls slight pink some rooms. What color carpet?
What style of interior design are you going for?
Hi! I have been on the hunt for a video that might show the shade mesquite poser. if you know of anyone who has used that shade or any rooms with that color I would love your suggestion!

Anybody have a go to color if im using purple accents in a farm house bedroom with grey tones in the bed spread

@@WhitneyBaldwin very cool thanks very much
Please do a video on your hair! It looks amazing!
Would the whisper white be good for kitchen cabinets?
Most definitely! It’s a great shade of white.. one thing to note is white cabinets are super hard to keep clean but sooo pretty!
@@WhitneyBaldwin thanks so much great video.

Hey there! That is Swiss Coffee ☕️
😀@2:06 is EXACTLY why I'm here! Lol

Behr has no hang time. Use a better paint like Benjamin Moore.
What is hang time? I’ve had no issue using Behr…
