Re: help with BM colors
The only color I can help with is the dining room. We have white wainscotting on the bottom and BM Garrison Red on top. I've posted pictures before, if you want to search it out!

just saw it. Now, it looks sorta wine like. I think I'm leaning more towards a traditional red. Thanks so much though.

Re: help with BM colors
Tah-wee-ZAH, really seperated at birth now. I love all your colors. I might want 1 shade darker for the bathroom and 1 shade darker for the living room. You are so helpful!

If you go to the store, you can find the swatch... I think I just threw mine out... and go either one up or one down.
ETA: Yeah, I don't have them anymore in my home files.
Too bad we just got rid off most of our extra paint. You could have tried them out
So... Bon Ami, crockpots, paint colors...
What's next? Well, right now I'm hanging a border in the nursery. Don't think your ready for that yet?

Re: help with BM colors
go on the potterybarn website or get the catalog....they have the colors that you are looking for listed (all BM paints) and then they show rooms that are painted in the colors.

I've done that, but to be perfectly honest, I find, based on my experience already, they don't always come out the same being the pics are airbrushed and such

Re: help with BM colors
now, I'm just not sure if the louisburg green would be too dark for a bathroom. It's actually a color we've had picked out for a while. I think the tree moss is what I'm liking the most.
You are all helping me so much. Can't wait to show DH this post tonight.

eta: i was going to have the DR painted in tree moss and lenox den but opted for the pottery rred instead. tree moss is a really nice soothing color. great for a bath.

thanks so much, I'm glad you posted that because I don't care for the louisburg green in a bathroom but the tree moss may work for me.
This is so helpful, probably one of the most helpful posts in a while for my needs. I can't thank you all enough!!
