When this sweet couple wrote in for a little update of their home, we were more than happy to oblige. They own a beautiful house located in Ohio, which was fairly new, but built to reflect classic Early American Style.
We found a real historical home {The Cupola House} to use as our inspiration, and you can find the photo {and the entire tour} here. We found it quite inspiring as a nice guide for what someone really used in their color selections. Old homes are fascinating to us, and we love the idea of pulling something from the past into the current day.
In the specific photo of the mantel {the blue one} you’ll see they used that bold color throughout the home. We love the idea of changing that red to Benjamin Moore’s Waterbury Green throughout the room. In the same areas where they have the Red, now.
Also on the walls, we love the idea of lightening up that darker cream to Monterey White for a nice contrast throughout the space. Both are a part of the historical colors collection.

Oh, I really love this! Early American decor is so interesting. It’s also my mom’s favorite style–I’ll have to send this her way.
