Favorite Paint Color of the Month {Crushed Ice}

Happy last day of February! Today I wanted to share with you another one of my favorite paint colors this month.
So many paint colors to choose from, I have so many favorites but the winner for the month of February is Crushed Ice by Sherwin Williams.  If you know me by now, you know I love grays, but I especially love warm grays, beiges, greiges, anything up that alley. This color is a warm gray and has just a hint of beige in it.*LOVE*

And a GORGEOUS paint palette from Vim and Vintage. Soft grays, blues, beiges - again, love, love, love.

Thank you for letting me share another one of my favorite colors with you today. I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend. We are staying inside to keep warm, there is a raging blizzard outside and school is CANCELLED. School never gets cancelled in Montana so we are taking advantage of our snow day here. See you next week!

Do you have a room that needs a little sprucing up, but you don’t want to paint the whole thing? I love how Sabrina just added stripes on one wall and it changed the feel of the whole space. Check out her blog for more information, the transformation is inspiring.
Also, are you looking for the perfect white to paint something in your home? I got this infographic in my e-mail the other day. I love Antique White and Dover White from Sherwin Williams. Do you have any favorite whites you have used? (click on the picture below to see 5 tips to find the perfect shade of white)


White is something we have been seeing a lot of this past week in Montana, snow is falling from the sky as I speak BUT it finally got above zero today! Yeah! Soo can’t wait for spring colors. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Entry featuring paint color Naval (SW 6244) from the Pottery Barn & Sherwin-Williams Fall/Winter 2013 Color Collection.
The same day that Kat submitted her office to me I had just stumbled upon this picture from pinterest. It's also Naval by Sherwin Williams and I love it. If you are looking for a great navy color, whether it’s for an office, bedroom, entryway, bathroom – don’t you think this is perfect? It’s also part of the Pottery Barn collection at Sherwin-Williams. Makes me love it even more. :) Thanks Sherwin Williams and Kat for the inspiration!

Sherwin-Williams 2014 Color of the Year


Hello paint lovers! I hope everyone is having a great week and gearing up for tomorrow. Sherwin-Williams has just announced their 2014 color of the year – Exclusive Plum. It’s a grayish purple that could be used in many different rooms and environments, some of which you will see in their infographic below.  I think it would look awesome in a powder room or small bathroom. I love the one they have pictured below. So if you are wanting something different but not sure what, Exclusive Plum might be your answer. Have a wonderful weekend, please be safe in your travels and Happy Thanksgiving!

Reader Question + Top 5 Paint Colors for Every Room in Your Home


Happy Friday everyone! It has been absolutely beautiful here in Montana – blue skies, perfect temperatures and fall colors all around. I love it.  We are supposed to get snow on Monday though so I am soaking up the sun while we still can. I hope all is well with you!

Today I wanted to answer a question from a reader. Kristin wrote to me:
“I stumbled across your blog while googling ideas for paint colors. I read through several of your posts and was really inspired by the ideas you gave.
We are building a house and I have 1 week to finalize what paint colors to use in my house.   We are going with 3 tone paint & are going to paint the entire house one color, with the exception of the bedrooms and washroom upstairs.  We have dark espresso cabinets throughout the house. Do you have any suggestions on a color to pick for painting the whole house? We can use either Sherwin Williams or Kwal paint. I was wondering if you have any favorite paint colors to do a whole house in that you have seen before??”

Love this, because, yes, I do have a few favorites. Smile As I have seen new homes built and have looked at the latest trends, most people are going with one solid paint color throughout the main part of their home. I love it because it’s continuous, you don’t have to worry about whether a room will flow into the next, and I think it’s more calming. So if I were going to paint a whole house one main color, and had to use Sherwin Williams, these are the colors that I have seen that work. I have not seen a room painted in any of these 5 paint colors that I have disliked. So here we go!Top 5 paint colors for every room in your home - Favorite Paint Colors

#1: I love Kilim Beige. My sister used it in her old house, my mother-in-law went through about every Sherwin-Williams color imaginable and Kilim Beige ended up being her favorite , and my aunt has painted the majority of her house this color. It must be a family thing, but I have loved it in every home.

#2: Balanced Beige – a perfect go with everything color with warmth and color, yet it’s subtle and soothing. I love it in Emily’s house and in the living room down below. (Not sure of the original source, if anyone has any information let me know.)

#3: Universal Khaki is another favorite. I absolutely love it in Janell Beals’ home from House of Fifty. She has great style and who wouldn’t love that kitchen?!

#4: Perfect Greige – super popular color right now, and as the name states, it’s a perfect balance of gray and beige.

#5: Agreeable Gray – another color that I really, really love. The pictures speak for themselves and it definitely has agreed with me every time I have seen it in a home.

So there are MY suggestions. I definitely have favorites from other brands, but if I were working with Sherwin Williams then this is where I would start. I am not as familiar with Kwal paint, but I do love the colors I have seen. One of my favorites was from a Parade of Homes that I posted here. It was painted throughout the whole house and it was a nice, airy light color. Remember “Trotting”?

So do you have any favorite paint colors that you have used throughout your home? Or maybe you have seen a color that you love in someone else’s home? Let us know, but thank you for stopping by and for your submissions, ideas, and questions. I love my readers! Have a wonderful weekend!
