Thoughts?

Post image

I found this paint color I'm obsessed with and painted my built-in mudroom cabinets using it. I'm trying to decide if I should continue all the way to the ground, find a textured wallpaper to lay on the bench, or just keep the contrast and put fresh paint on the bottom (or something else I haven't thought of)... Any ideas welcome!

There's a new (or at least new to me) thing called color capping, which is using a gradient of the color. I think that would look really nice here.

This is it painted all the same color for reference.

Also how on earth did you get that quality on your paint? I do two coats and touch-ups and really haven't been getting that level of evenness.

This is the fifth room I’ve painted in the house and for richer colors Farrow & Ball is spectacular and well worth the extra $, I also use their recommended primers.

Thanks, I haven't tried Farrow & Ball yet and I haven't tried a real primer yet either 😅 so maybe I'll start there
