last decision for the master bath

Okay, not quite the last decision, since we still need to finalize light fixtures, and random little questions will inevitably pop up, but paint color was our last BIG decision, and we've made it.

I heart Sherwin Williams, so wasn't even interested in looking at supposedly better paint. Their paint rocks, and their customer service is even better. These were our SW contenders, since we're going for a lighter, brighter look in the master bath than we have in the guest bath, seen against baseboard molding and a slice of our floor tile. 

 

Tinsmith and Lattice turned out too dark, and Mark found Snowfall too feminine. We tried a 50/50 blend of Snowfall and Fleur de Sel, but I was afraid that wasn't pretty enough, though I did like the gray it produced.

The winner? Fleur de Sel, which is also my favorite name.

Here it is against the molding

  1. So great to see I'm not the only one keeping the paint-sample industry alive! Thanks for the link, I enjoyed following this project.

  2. You're definitely not the only one! I believe that we have 20+ samples sitting in boxes here (and this is only a 1000 square foot condo!), and naturally I cannot bear to part with them! ;-) But of course the next time we renovate, I will need all new samples.
