Decorating Dilemma
Hello (again),
I have been following the Schwartz House, we are pretty much going through the same things. Our timeline is a little further ahead, so locked into our lumber for an additional $30K (!!!). Windows just went in 🙂
What would you all recommend for a whole house paint color? We have a 2 – paint option, so ceiling and trim one color, and walls another color. I have already purchased multiple samples and painted boards, but I don’t know if I should just paint it ALL the same white color, like BM Simply White, Seapearl, or Chantilly Lace? I would like to make it not look so NEW. Or should I do the trim and ceiling the traditional white-white. It feels like a ginormous decision to make and every room is going to have different natural light….
Thank you, I know this is an impossible question.

Hi (again) Jamie,
First of all, I would say paint the actual walls with the paint samples. It’ll look very different on the wall than it would on a board; especially white paint. I’m personally a big fan of Chantilly Lace, but it’s going to look different in every room and every home. I very much love the painted trim look right now; white walls with slightly darker doors and trim. I think Seapearl or Putty color could be pretty.
Good luck with the new build! You’re already ahead of Taryn in the process!
