Thank you for paint help!

11 years ago

In April I was searching for paint with a faint peach tint. Went round and round until I found this Forum and asked for help. Cathleen ni Houlihan suggested BM white blush. Went with that, and it's perfect. Makes me smile every time I see the barest of color. Paired it with BM Sweet Salmon as an accent color on the back of a bookcase and around a small half wall.

Thanks again for great advice and help.

Would you please post picutres of the accent color usage in your room? I am also thinking of painting the back of a built-in book case a a slightly darker color and would love to see the effect. Thank you!

Cupofkindness ~ Here you go! The light is less than ideal, but I hope this gives you an idea. The color is very soft. Paint must cure for a week before returning things to shelves. Next is finding lighter color shelf holders; painted over oak which was darker.

Good luck.
