  • Yet I went with Morning Fog by Valspar I believe. In the main living areas, bluish-a bit more blue at times than I wanted. And did my bathroom in Grayish by Valspar which has a pretty purple tone in it. They are seen from each room and Trimmed out in Du Jour which is a creamy white. I think they go well together. To be honest Dorian Gray was on my list, but I was out voted. We have a lot of deep brown cloth and woods in these areas and a lot of Bronze hardware and some cast iron. Now no barn doors….but I did my new home in a modern farm, with a ton of actual heirlooms making it real Hygge. Now I actually live on 62 acres of pasture land that abuts mountains, in West Virginia. The grays give a lovely moodiness, offset with warm woods. Thank you for all of your advice, sincerely. I am beginning project house number 3, which just tuned 100 this last month, and it has lovely wood all over. So I am not done yet, another 6 rooms to go. Ps; No word signs to be seen, only thing with words are actual antiques….

  • Please help! I have two days to nail down exterior colors. My house is an east facing single story in GA. What colors do you suggest? Thoughts? Dorian gray for the body (siding/brick), Iron Ore for doors and shutters, Alabaster, Snowbound, or Pure white for trim. I will take absolutely any suggestions. *note – my roof is called Thunderstorm and includes every shade of gray and possible undertones.

  • Cher, believe, actually popped up on the radio today too, haven’t heard in YEARS. What is your thoughts on anonymous grey, I haven’t bothered opening yet bc i am unsure, I have a lot of colors going in but this one I am not sure, if it will be too blah grey or too light, I am trying to get a good mix of the beach historical cottage type I guess, natural, moody colors? It’s a hard pull for some reason I’ve went on the side of greens, UB, naval, glamour (DD) and some random white bc there were too many so I have like 10 samples.

  • I want to know what idiot said, “I think houses should have the same aesthetic as the German battleship Bismarck, HMS Hood or the USS New Jersey. While it might be a great look for a battleship and quite reasonable for prisons, it is fu*king horrible for homes. As far as I can tell, its only function is to make you glad that you are leaving your drab, coma inducing dwelling place to travel to the comparatively nice hellscape of an open office workspace. To be fair, the house shown in this article is far less bleak in appearance than most of the monstrositiesI’ve seen where I live. There is one home two streets over from me where the owner really leaned into the battleship look by going with all black trim. I would admire his commitment to achieving the warship aesthetic if he hadn’t decided to “improve” the landscaping around his home with rusty bits of old farm equipment carefully placed on a white gravel rock front lawn. I’ve heard this trend is already “So 2023” and is on the way out. Its demise can’t happen soon enough IMO.

  • I don’t know the song but speaking of undertones, this is something I like in paints (and sometimes not like depending). But I’m still loving White Metal. I love that hints of the purple. It just depends on the time of day but as I walk past my studio wall, I get little bits of change throughout the day. Great fun. Hahaha on the other yays!

  • Painted my exterior Dorian Gray based, in part, on this article. It’s awful. Drab and prison like. And I live in So Cal with beautiful light. I am now looking at re-painting. NOBODY should ever give color advise unless they are on the premises and observing in every conceivable light. If you paint one interior room the wrong color—no big deal. If you paint an exterior the wrong color—huge deal. You should consider this the next time you make a statement like—Why You Should Paint Your Exterior….(insert wrong color here.) Please, be advised and followers, that goes for you too!
