Hey Tiffany! Thanks for inspiring me today, because I’ve gotten a lot of questions about colors recently, and I’ll be answering all of yours and more in a post tomorrow for colors in the home. I hope you can find some useful stuff there! Thanks so much!

You’re fantastic! I wish we could be friends 😛
I have a couple paint/color questions:
1. Is there a particular reason you use Benjamin Moore’s paint most often? Just curious if they have more colors, better paint, you like their name…etc.
2. Do you have any rules/guidelines when deciding to paint accent walls? Do you even paint accent walls?
3. I am deciding on what colors to paint my little home. (My color scheme is similar to the colors of your website). I was planning on adding accent walls for punches of colors (teal in the living room, pale green in the stair-way, and a sunny yellow in the kitchen specifically), however my boyfriend keeps kindly reminding me(ahem–nagging perhaps) that we’ll be able to see the different colors as we walk through the spaces. (I believe what he is getting at, is that spaces flows and he doesn’t want our home to look like a pre-school). In my mind, these colors compliment each other, and are repeated elsewhere in our decor, however I also don’t want our place to look like a preschool. How/where do you draw the line between over-the-top-in-your-face and the cheerful/fresh/put together room I want?
4. What sheen do you use for your walls?
Thanks so much!

Hey Britney! You can find the majority of them here – I hope that helps! If you have any specifics that aren’t in that one (this post is kinda old and it’s probably time for me to have a redo because we actually get that question a lot) just let me know! ;}

Do you have them listed somewhere? Thank you!!!

I love your blog and I actually came to it today hoping for some info on color! We just moved into our first house and it is 2200 square feet of builder’s beige. I really want to paint our main living area white because I see it in so many of the pinterest homes I love! But I have been discouraged because everyone I talk to (aka my friends and family – not prfessionals) acts like I’m crazy! What are the keys to doing white well?

I’m taking your suggestion to start with the fabric…:) I look forward to the rest of the series
