Comment on Best White Paint Color for Walls and Trim by Kristie Barnett

In reply to Aurealisa. It depends - monochromatic (but in different finishes) always works, but sometimes I want to create more depth by using a darker cream on the walls. You just have to be sure that wall and trim color have the SAME undertone, or else you could end up with clashing undertones (like yellow and pink!).

In reply to Carrie Brammer Crecco. Sure - as long as you are wanting to create a darker, cocoon-like space. Just be sure you use lots of lamp lighting!

In reply to wanda carver. Hi Wanda, I simply stacked them since I didn't want to ruin the books! Easy-peasy.

Kristie,

I love this idea, but I have one question. Are these books just loosely stacked or did you adhere them to one another? If so, what did you use?

Appreciatively,
Wanda

Absolutely agree! White is a tricky thing. At home, which strategy do you prefer: matching white walls and trim (monochrome) or classic contrast?

In reply to Lou. Would you suggest painting the ceiling, walls and dormer sloped walls (attic bedroom) all the same color if using a dark green (basil by sherwin willliams)? There’s is one overhead canned light and window.

Loved reading about your daughter’s new, more mature room and the honest note that it’s never this clean, very relatable. The part about the Dyson DC59 Motorhead helping keep things tidy was especially useful. Great tip for busy parents.

Comment on Flat or Eggshell Paint? The Great Debate by Maureen

Maureen — Sat, 04 Oct 2025 02:02:38 +0000

Hi, I am a big fan of eggshell finish. However, I recently painted my family room which is a northern facing room with little natural light. The paint had at least 3 variances in color depending on the wall you are looking at, the time of day etc. I’m wondering if covering the BM eggshell finish with matte would make it more cohesive and less variances in color. Would that work do you think?
