Benjamin Moore Fossil on walls.
Painted kitchen cabinets and islands
are still a great choice. The kitchen is a place to be a bit bolder with color. If you are up for trying black on some of your millwork, we really like Benjamin Moore’s Midnight Oil. It’s black with a little brown thrown in.
If you are going to stop with paint and not update furnishings, keep in mind how your current pieces will look with the new color scheme. And if you have decided
to paint your bedroom a di erent color, here’s a designer tip: update your linens in the paint color of the rest of the house for harmony between spaces. Use the “mad” money you have tucked away and splurge on a little luxury.
Magazine pictures of beautiful homes are surely inspirational and we say gather some of those. They can really help you narrow down what you like. But don’t forget to appreciate all of the color around you. Take a drive, a hike, or a walk and really look at the colors of South Mississippi. From the browns in the brackish bayou waters to the orange and pinks in a winter sunset, we are surrounded by inspiring colors. Spend some time outside and then get down to business on the inside.
