We LOVE it! Several things to do pre-baby but the color is perfect. </p> <p>It's Benjamin Moore buckland blue. </p> [attach=2081/14/myyhsh.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-drive-you-crazy#post-1313423 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 12:01:03 +0000 littlek 1313423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What did you go with? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-drive-you-crazy#post-1313378 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 11:45:13 +0000 pui 1313378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I would change the wall colour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-drive-you-crazy#post-1313375 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 11:44:48 +0000 lilyann 1313375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for gray walls so you can leave the trim. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-drive-you-crazy#post-1309981 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 11:58:26 +0000 AmandaB8 1309981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would drive me nuts. But I'm very solidly in the "white trim" camp.</p> <p>I spent the summer painting every inch of trim in our 2100 sq ft house white - FIVE GALLONS of paints. But I'm now at peace. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-drive-you-crazy#post-1309776 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 10:39:15 +0000 Springtime 1309776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it would drive me crazy. I like bright white trim. If you don't want to paint the trim, use a different wall color! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-drive-you-crazy#post-1309736 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 10:22:44 +0000 Freckles 1309736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: You're not but i wouldn't worry about it too much! Right now we have mismatched trim in our house (still on my to-do list). I actually think you should think about the paint trim after you paint the walls. Horizon Gray would be another warm grey that could work with the trim. I'd probably avoid a cool grey with blue/purple undertones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-drive-you-crazy#post-1309728 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 10:17:24 +0000 Freckles 1309728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rawrasaur: That actually looks great!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-drive-you-crazy#post-1309725 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 10:16:13 +0000 matador84 1309725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: Good to know! The trim is original to the house and even in the closets...it would just be killer to paint it all around the two windows in the room, door and baseboards. I can handle the walls, but not the trim! Everyone loves the Revere Pewter in our house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-drive-you-crazy#post-1309701 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 10:09:31 +0000 catlady 1309701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had this problem at our house plus our trim was really hard to paint over. I'd avoid painting the trim if you can! I painted almost every room in our house a different color gray and everyone loves it. Some are cooler shades, some warmer. I say go for more gray! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-drive-you-crazy#post-1309693 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 10:06:52 +0000 matador84 1309693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: It's cool! I was just wondering the paint or brand. </p> <p>I am pretty sure we're going to go with a gray or blue color! I'm ready to get his room done so I can rest before DD gets here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-drive-you-crazy#post-1309677 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 10:03:13 +0000 sorrycharlie 1309677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: it was a return random can :( when we moved in, my FIl was renovating it (they own) and picked some random cans. I wish I knew! if you want, I can try to ask him later if he has any leftover..but I don't think he does :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-drive-you-crazy#post-1309673 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 10:01:55 +0000 Modern Daisy 1309673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would leave the trim alone and paint the walls and doors white. That way your trim will still match the rest of the house and it won't be such a stark contrast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-drive-you-crazy#post-1309594 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 09:38:11 +0000 loveisstrange 1309594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That would absolutely drive me nuts. I'd paint the trim white. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-drive-you-crazy#post-1309590 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 09:37:12 +0000 MsLipGloss 1309590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Iced Slate<br /> Silver Gray<br /> Metallic Silver<br /> Beach Glass<br /> Sea Haze </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-drive-you-crazy#post-1309553 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 09:23:51 +0000 matador84 1309553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: totally makes sense. </p> <p>I'm thinking Benjamin Moore...<br /> Old Glory<br /> Patriot Blue<br /> Lucerne<br /> Hearthstone<br /> Stonington Gray<br /> /<br /> Any more suggestions? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-drive-you-crazy#post-1309515 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 09:10:39 +0000 Jessica922 1309515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the contrast between the wall and the trim! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-drive-you-crazy#post-1309514 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 09:10:33 +0000 MsLipGloss 1309514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: I don't think so, especially because the rooms are so different, and the color will pick up and *reflect* the other accent colors (and décor) in the room. I think the only thing that you can have too much of is really saturated color in multiple rooms without a *break* for your eyes. (if that makes sense) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-this-drive-you-crazy#post-1309501 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 09:07:49 +0000 matador84 1309501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I am a huge fan of gray, our living room and master are Revere Pewter--since I liked it so much and it looks fab with the trim. Too much gray in a home if it's in 3 of the rooms?? </p>
