Hi -
I love this forum, so hope you can give me some good ideas. Here is my LR in progress. It is currently BM Shaker Beige with a pale blue rug, beige/cream furniture, blond floors and dark wood trim (Please ignore the baby bumper on the coffee table!). I am looking for a light-medium gray/blue wall color to offset the furniture and give the room a mellow/spa/silver/blue/gray/Barbara Barry feel. (I will be switching the red accents in the DR to blue/gray also) Not too dark since this is north facing. I am down to BM Silver Fox and BM San Antonio gray, both of which have a little purple in them. (After going through so many BMs and some Farrow&Ball colors.) I love them both, but all the photos I have see of Silver Fox online looking so great are with white trim. What do you think about these colors with dark trim, in this room?

| I love the room, very nice choices! I think your color ideas work well with white and dark wood, you often see them paired with white and either brown or black. Here are a few more paint suggestions- BM wickham gray
BM stonington gray
BM smoke (love this one)
BM quiet moments Good luck! |

| Jesst, do any of those grays have green or blue undertones? |

| Hi, you have a lovely place ... One thought on your color choice. Since this is a north facing room, which are well known for being cold and less than comforting, you may want to seek out grays/blue grays that have a good bit of warmth to them - like ones with a green or orange-brown undertone. Warm colors read as much more inviting and can really cut some of the cold tones northern light takes on. Best of luck !! |

| Smoke reads blue and quiet moments, blue/green. Both very subtle... if you do a Google search for both paint colors some room images should pop up. |

bizzy,
I just wanted to tell you that your home is beautiful. Among other things, I especially like your living room sofa style and the light blue and beige carpet on which it rests. Can you recall where you found the sofa and carpet? Thanks,
JB |

| Bizzy, Did you paint, yet? I think the 'silver fox' will look great in your space, even with the dark trim. Love your armoire (Hu & Hu??!!) and Guilin drawing.... |

| JB1176-- I am not the OP but the sofa looks very much like this Baker Archetype: http://www.kohlerinteriors.com/images/product/standard/ccc02816.jpg
Hope this helps! |
