Favorite Navy Blue Paint Color
Comments (16)After seeing the kitchen in the HGTV Smart House, I just picked up navy samples to seriously think about painting my kitchen cabinets dark blue. Here's what I picked:Indigo batik (that's in the HGTV house) It looks slightly different on the two paper chips (go figure) Also SW Commodore The others looked very strange once I had them in my house (Naval; Indigo, etc.)...See MoreBM/SW Colors Similar to EK Buttercream/Alexandria Blue
Comments (13)work in progress - Do you think the lighter shade, which I think is Ivoire, would give enough contrast with white kitchen cabinets? amysrq - I agree so much with everything you said but just found out the closest store is about 30 miles away from me and they do not deliver. I asked about shipping and they said the paint would have to be picked up. Unfortunately, due to a medical condition I cannot drive and do not have anyone in the area who could pick it up for me. I live in an area of New York where many people just don't have cars. Ugh!! graywings - I thought of doing this also and just might go this route if I cannot figure out an affordable way to have the paint picked up at the Brooklyn store. I have trouble compromising and that's part of the reason my homes never quite seem to be finished no matter how long I live there. I really did take a lot of time researching Ellen Kennon and the colors I picked so it's very hard for me to even consider alternatives. Hopefully, when I relocate I'll be in a position, along with all the help and information on this forum, to successfully decorate my next home in AZ. lol All of you on this forum are priceless!

Comments (10)thanks everyone for chiming in. A small commitment, the front side! Never considered that, Wilson853! Agree with "busymom"--work with accents rather than making a huge change. Right now, the painted island is what we might call a trend but it has some classic appeal. But I know me--will I want to stay with this color scheme for 5-10 years? I don't see us moving as we've downsized and built a home to fit our retirement needs. I really like some of the photos I've seen of painted center island. Instead, I think I'll have the great room re-painted from builder beige and see how that affects the space. Thank you so much. You have all helped me sort this out! I did paint the guest bathroom cabinet and it looks sensational! That's how I caught "the painting bug."...See MoreDare I paint my house BM Hale Navy?
Comments (32)yeah, I think I like the cream w/the green. and the navy. But the more I look at that pic w/the dark trim, it kind of grows on me! I'd want more wood though. and maybe spruce up the landscaping. I suppose if you did a medium gray, you could do a dark charcoal trim. It just depends on the overall look you want. i do like the cedar posts though. and I'd prob add one or two more for symmetry it would be lot to redo all of the eaves w/cedar, but what if you stripped and stained them the cedar shade like the posts?? or you could do all of that jasper, but the underside the cream? or just the stiles cream? you'd have to play around w/diff looks...See MoreMelissa R
