Pink whites, yellow whites, blue whites and even black whites? Do I go Antique White USA, Whisper White, Natural White or White on White? Really I feel like I'm going mad...

ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to white paint I've noticed that the with elaborately named shades that the more exotic the name the more exotic the price!
Thank goodness for sample pots...it's amazing how the same colour can vary on different walls, affected by light and shade...have fun choosing I'm sure you'll find the right one in the end...

I've decided to go with Antique White USA for the walls, white for the ceiling and white semi-gloss for the door and window frames. The Antique White is definately more cream than white but I think it will be a nice contrast to all the white (well, I hope so!). The painter is applying the second coat as I type...
