Omg, this made me just decide to paint my heavy, cherry dining room after agonizing over it! I am dying to know where you got the chandelier? I am embarrassed to say I have the exact one in the “before” picture and when I replaced the old brass one with I I thought I was so modern!

In reply to Deedra. I love this look! I’m creating a mood board and trying to figure out how you mix different w completely different feels and it look so freaking put together and good! I’ve been begging my husband to let me hire you haha and considering it’s almost been a year and 50 plus samples ….. he’s close to giving in I think lol you are so good at this stuff. It’s not easy at all!

In reply to Cam. Hi Cam, the fireplace was left as-is - just the walls are Edgecomb Gray :).

In reply to KylieMawdsley. Oh, the brick fireplace is painted with Edgecomb Gray? Was the paint watered-down so that it was more a whitewash? A lot of the bricks look raw rather than painted.

In reply to LA.

Ooooo, I love sad wet cement!

okay, so I don’t have a problem with Alabaster and Creamy as long as you’re cool with a super low contrast soft approach. I have NO problem with this, however, even Alabaster walls could be pretty! (and make sure the trim is Alabaster too 🙂

Whoa! I am IN LOVE with your work and this site!! Wondering your thoughts on pairing SW Creamy walls with SW Alabaster cabinets??? My kitchen is currently VERY similar to the before photos from this project. With the general differences being that our floors are a darker neutral brown (no orange) and the backsplash is an off-white/cream classic subway tile. Also, of note, our windows -of which there are many- are all north facing. Which is why I’m looking to paint the majority of the home in SW Creamy. It’s currently SW intellectual Grey – or sad wet cement as I like to call it. I’m in love with both of those colors but wondering if the combo sounds crazy. I love the idea of doing the hone in creamy neutrals with pops of black or dark grey to ground it. I’m open to a better suggestion for the cabinetry – especially if you think maybe Alibaster would be a better choice for the walls. Though I already know your thoughts on Creamy!

In reply to Carolyn Hebert. Hi Carolyn! It's ALLLL about personal preference! Some people prefer decorating in ranges of neutrals rather than inserting colour. I find it's about a 75/25 split! For THIS home, I lean into no obvious colours and prefer the layering of neutrals, but again, it's all personal!

In reply to Renee. Yes, it really is lovely, as long as you have some good light in those rooms. If they're LOW light, EG could fall a bit flat at times.

Kylie, I love this ! It truly is beautiful AND relatable! I loved how it was not all wiped away. Would love to see more like this and ALWAYS enjoy your humor and wit!

Wow! Such a stunning transformation that showcases the power of paint. I have been trying to choose a color for my main living areas, which face due East and due West and had crossed Edgecomb off of my list. Now I have to revisit it.

Carolyn Hebert — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 12:53:35 +0000

Gee not sure. While it is a huge step forward in time, shouldn’t there have been one color incorporated ? Even just in throws/rugs/pillows such as a light blue or sea foam green? And I have Edgecomb Grey so I do like that wall color but it just reads so monotone. Is it just me? It could be.

In reply to Shelley.

Hi Shelley, I didn’t notice that but you’re right, they have a lot of windows! I added a dining room photo that shows the OTHER side of the room with a snippet of their GOOORGEOUS off-white/black prints – LOVE THEM!

In reply to Jacki. That's JUST what I love to hear Jacki, sometimes you just need to SEE it to believe it :). I bet if you ask on FB someone will know SOMEONE who does chalk painting!

Wow! It looks fantastic. I have an old heavy but. nice dining room table and chairs. I haven’t wanted to paint them, but now that I’ve seen this I’m inspired! Now to find someone who can do the same for me. Well done everyone!

Wow… A+. Just one nit-picky thing… the rug in the living room is way too small. Looks lost.

Turned out beautifully! Your client has exceptional taste and the colours you chose are spot on, as always. It’s interesting that there isn’t any art on any of the walls, although, they do have an incredible number of windows. Any idea what’s on the wall opposite the China cabinet in the dining room?

What a beautiful transformation! It’s so much fresher and I love the furniture that has been repainted. Absolutely stunning!
