About two months ago I started following along as Newell Turner, Style Director of House Beautiful magazine blogs about the renovation of his farmhouse in Upstate New York.
Newell selected the colors some time ago but I hadn’t gone back and read many of his older posts until now which is why I am just now taking a closer look as his color palette.
Here’s what he selected for his Living Room–
Living Room
Walls – SW 6519 Hinting Blue (satin)
Trim – SW 6219 Rain (semi-gloss)
Ceiling – SW 7007 Ceiling Bright White (semi-gloss)
Window Sashes – SW 7623 Cascades (gloss)
Doors – SW 7074 Software (semi-gloss) with SW 7074 with 1/2 pigment for door panels
Exterior Doors (inside) – SW 7074 Software (semi-gloss) with SW 7074 1/2 pigment for door panels
Exterior Doors (outside) – SW 7623 Cascades (gloss)
This palette is continues throughout the first floor and you can see the details of where else Newell used these colors here…
I can’t wait to see pictures of the final rooms using this atmospheric palette.
