Benjamin Moore Lovers...

In particular, I love the Historical Collection but I love all BM colors in general. Our new place was painted not too long ago but it is all very similar - I kind of want different colors and something a LITTLE more bold.

I like earth tones. I love BM's Bieges, olive greens, even soft yellows, pumpkin spice colors, etc.

Can you guys suggest some colors for me? I'll post pics of the place...

I'm thinking doing an accent color around the fireplace - darker and then a lighter color in the same family on the rest of the walls.

What do you guys suggest for each room?? All our wood furn. is a milk chocolate color. The only thing that isn't is our kitchen table which is antique white (Ivory). Our couch is sage green with a beige piping. So, all very neutral. ANY suggestions would be wonderful!! THANKS!!!

Re: Benjamin Moore Lovers...

The colors now are nice but a little blah. What do you guys think for the kitchen??

With our bedroom that color MIGHT be able to stay because we are doing (bedding) Cindy Crawford's line from JCP Home Store...

Your house is beautiful!

And I love your bedroom color! I would keep it.

I did an accent wall for our fireplace wall as well. If you'd like to take a look, pics in my album.

Love your house transformation!!

I really like the colors you did with the fireplace and the rest of the walls in that room. The light to dark ratio is just right - not too stark but not too little of a difference that you can barely tell.

What color is the darker one? And what color is the lighter biege in that room?

We painted our bedroom Provence Creme, its a shade of yellow just a tiny bit darker than what you have in the kitchen, from what I can tell. If you are looking to change, that might be a nice color for the kitchen.

Yes, I think that is what is really throwing me.

I think something a little bolder, warmer, and better with the cabinetry would really make a difference.

BUT WHAT?! Chat Icon

Excellent!!! I have heard of those colors before - That is wonderful suggestions, thank you! I will def put them to good use.

I think we'll do the fireplace room/dining room and the kitchen. Those colors are great but now I really need a kitchen color.

Everything else is good for now - I think it is enough color change to make it personal and different!
