Fresh Look's Feature Paint Colour for June

-

Hi Everyone
Thanks for checking out my blog.  It's a rainy, gloomy day here today in Calgary so I decided to get busy on my feature paint colour for the month of June.  We've had a late start to spring here but it's finally starting to green up!   I hope things are going well for you as we are slowly returning to, what will probably be for quite a while, our new normal.

Fresh Look's Feature Paint Colour for June - Mediterranean SW 7617

Mediterranean by Sherwin Williams is a beautiful teal colour.   Mediterranean is a very livable colour as it does have some gray in it as well.  You've probably heard the colour teal and turquoise used interchangeably but turquoise is a light to medium tone and more blue than green while teal is a darker blue-green.  You'll also hear Peacock blue as another description.  I would refer to Mediterranean as a classic colour - meaning it's a colour that will not date itself over time.
In this next picture we used Mediterranean as a feature wall.  I think it makes a stunning backdrop for my client's gallery wall.

In this next picture they used Mediterranean beautifully as an accent wall in the bedroom but it would also look great if they had used it on all the walls.



According to 
experts ;) the colour teal is a reserved, intuitive and perhaps an introverted colour.  Teal is different but it doesn't look for attention.  It's a somewhat unconventional colour and someone who likes teal appreciates those things that are a little bit different. 
The LRV for Mediterranean is 18 so it's considered a dark paint colour.  Just a reminder that LRV refers to the amount of light a paint colour either absorbs or reflects, so the higher the number the more light that paint colour will reflect.
These next photos are not specifically the paint colour Mediterranean but are teal inspiration. 
A great way to express your personality is by adding this colour to your front door or on your interior doors.






I have a client who is currently in the process of painting the outside of their craftsman home with the paint colour Mediterranean.  It's a beautiful, older home in Calgary and I can't wait to see it completed as I think it's going to look stunning.  If you follow me on Instagram you'll find pictures of my completed projects as well as inspirational pictures.  
Here is a beautiful example of a teal coloured exterior.


If you like the colour teal, there are so many ways to incorporate this colour into your home.  Here are just a few options other than painting your walls.

What do you think of the paint colour Mediterranean or just the colour teal in general?  Would you or have you incorporated this colour into your home?  I'd love to hear from you in the comments below.
Have a Colourful Day!

My 5 Favourite Warm Neutral Paint Colours from Sherwin Williams

Hi Everyone Thanks for checking out my blog today. For the last few months I have been sharing some of my favourite Sherwin Williams paint colours but I wanted to do things a little differently this month.  Instead of featuring just one paint colour, I wanted to share with you 5 of my favourite, warm neutrals.  What makes them a warm neutrals (I'm sure you are asking yourself 😏)?  I don't want to get too technical but I want to differentiate between what we've been taught in regards to the colour wheel - that warm colours are red, yellow orange etc and the cool colours are blue, green violet etc. For this particular blog when I'm referring to warm neutral, I am not referring to the undertone but instead I'm referring to neutrals that have some amount of beige in them.  It does not necessarily have to be a beige or a tan paint colour - even gray can be a warm neutral provided there is some beige incorporated into it.  I'm not sure if you've noticed but desig...

Hi Everyone! Thanks for checking out my blog.  Today I wanted to share with you 5 of my favourite dark blue paint colours.  The colours I will be sharing are Sherwin Williams paint colours as those are the colours I generally work with on consultations.  Dark blues or dark blue/grays continue to be a client favourite whether I am choosing paint colours for the interior or exterior.   There are so many different ways to incorporate these luxurious paint colours into your home - a feature wall, an all over colour or doors are just a few examples. The colour blue represents trust, honesty and loyalty and in the world of colour, I truly believe, it is a timeless classic.  Another reason I love working with these darker blues is there almost no limit to what other colours can be paired with them. Outerspace SW 6251 Outerspace by Sherwin Williams is a paint colour I've worked with many, many times on both interiors and exteriors.  This is a popular colo...

Popular Front Door Paint Colors

 Hi Everyone Thanks for checking out my blog today.  I recently had the opportunity to be featured in an Redfin article  about choosing exterior paint colors and of course 😀 I wrote about one of my favourite things, painted doors!  Whether it's interior or exterior I love a door that's painted a color other then white.  Today I thought it would be fun, with spring hopefully just around the corner, to talk about painting your exterior door. Painting your exterior door is a quick and inexpensive way to instantly add curb appeal to your home.   If you are painting your front door please PLEASE ensure you also paint the hinged side of the door.  It's a pet peeve of mine 😆 when I see a painted front door and a white strip on the side (hinged side).   There are so many different routes you can go with color.  You can go with a timeless choice such as red, black or navy blue or if you want to inject your personality with a fun pop of col...
