“What is your wall color”? This is my most frequently asked question!

When we were building, the amount of white paint shades was overwhelming! The best place to start for us was with the “home theme” list I had made. This was a list of words describing how I wanted the home to feel. I will have to find the list and share it with you! A couple of the words were WARM/COZY. With this in mind, I knew to choose white paints with warm or neutral undertones.
So which paint did we choose?
We picked ….. White Dove by Benjamin Moore!

Here are my top paints for 2022. If I was to build again I would use one from this list. When you are ready, paint a large poster board and test it at all times of day and in different areas of the house. Our north facing rooms look slightly different than our south/west facing rooms! Lay your samples next to all your flooring and cabinetry samples too!
