If there’s one thing you need to know about me, it’s that I’m really scatterbrained. So when people ask me on social media for the names of all my paint colors, I usually can’t remember or even say the wrong one, (SORRY, Instagram!)
For this reason, I thought it would be helpful for me to write one big post that I can link back to over and over with all my paint colors.
Here we go!!!
Pink front door/ Noble Blush by BEHR.
White Walls (throughout our entire home)/ Marshmallow by Sherwin-Williams.
I love this color because it’s very slightly warm, but close to untinted white.
My exterior is also painted Marshmallow by Sherwin-Williams (but it’s an outdoor satin exterior paint).
The ceiling in our bedroom is Baby Blush by Valspar (I stole this color from Laura’s dining room).
The black trim in our sunroom is Dark Kettle Black by Valspar.
The deep blueish-green in Jeremy’s studio is Midnight in NY by BEHR.
Our living room floor is Stained Glass by Valspar. Read here for the exact technique used. It’s not just a painted floor!
The dark charcoal color in our living room is Hematite by BEHR.
(I will say, it reads more navy blue in person.)
Our fireplace is plain white, untinted satin finish paint with a stain blocking primer beneath it. Learn more about painting brick and stone here.
Let me know if you have any questions!!! xoxo. Elsie

Bright un-tinted white. 🙂 Awe- that’s so cool!
Hi! Love everything!!! What color did you use for this trim against the marshmallow walls? Building right now and totally using your colors!!! ?
Hi Elsie!
I have a quick paint related question- did you paint your ceilings and trim a different shade of white, or did you just use the same color in a different finish?
Thank you so much for sharing!!

Where can I find the pink sheep skin rug? Thanks!
Thank you Elsie! 🙂
I love your home but I am a little scared that you put the outside of your whole home up on the internet. There are some strange people out there, please reconsider posting the entire exterior home view for safety reasons. Sorry to be a party pooper :/
Hi. I want to paint my interior walls white also. Just wondering what finish you use?? I tried a satin sample, but thought maybe it was too flat?? Thanks so much. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your house 🙂
That blue green color is everything! Love love love!

Gosh I love your house! I have to marry someone who’s okay with pink accents because I don’t ever want to live without them! 🙂
You guys have killed it! The scheme is so simple yet so full of personality. And….the paint name Midnight in NY would make an amazing band name.
Those are gorgeous colours!
Gosh, your house is what dreams are made of. Forever in love. <3

Beautiful house! Where do you find your plant stands, like the black ones in the sunroom. I’ve been looking for that style for indoors.
I LOVE that fireplace screen. Could you share the source? Thanks!
Love your home tours! Hoping that you’ll share your living room/den soon. I always see shots of it in your Instagram/Snapchat and want to see more! Xo
The mirror is by Jonathan Adler, I got it from Shop Candelabra. It’s insanely special! http://www.shopcandelabra.com/jonathan-adler-petal-mirror

personal experience/opinion: we used about five different brands of paint (gliddon, behr, valspar, sherwin williams, benjamin moore) when we first moved into our house almost three years ago. by FAR, our favorite was, and still is, gliddon. (best coverage, best settling as it smoothed out while drying, easiest to use with both rollers and brushes…bonus that it’s usually the cheapest!) we’ve been color-matching all brands’ colors to gliddon since then, and have had no issues with the colors not matching up exactly to the paint swatch, no matter what brand it was originally. we have friends who swear by benjamin moore only, and other die-hard valspar lovers, so it’s probably all personal preference anyway! i haven’t heard anyone say a color-matching of another brand hasn’t worked well, so you’re PROBABLY pretty safe going with whatever brand you like best, color-matched to any brand’s color. 🙂
To test a new color (especially whites) I paint a big swatch in the best lit area of my house and then another one in a poorly lit area. Then, once it’s dry, I look at them in the daylight and the artificial light at night to make sure it’s good!

Hi Meg!
Thank you so much for the kind words! The leather pouf is from Lulu & Georgia.
xx- Elsie
Elsie and Jeremy, your home is a work of art. That view of the back of your house is magnificent. Thank you for sharing all your paint colors, so lovely and so cohesive! If you have a minute, can you share the source of the leather pouf in your sunroom? Amazing home. Xo
I always love the colours you choose, they contrast and compliment each other and the furniture perfectly! I just love your house!

You home is stunning! cohesive, but still each room is bold. How can you determine from the small swatch of color what will look good in a space? So often, I find myself drawn to certain palettes, but I’m always uncertain of how they will look when on an item/wall bigger than a small square. Any tips?
Awesome thank you!!
Love the gold dot wallpaper in your entry! Can you share the source? Thanks!
Beautiful home, all the windows and no curtains! Our home is similar as for the windows, lots and treatments only on bedroom windows.
Thank you for sharing.
Hi! I just spent like 30 minutes looking for the post with the source of that mirror in your entryway. I swear I remember a story about it arriving broken or something but I can’t find the post anywhere! Can you tell me which post that is or tell me the name of the mirror? Thanks!
Hell yeah. I’m so thankful he likes it. :))

Haha- sorry it took me so long!!! Organization isn’t exactly my strength. haha!
xx- Elsie
Thank you!!!
xx- Elsie
Thank you!!! 🙂 We love it so much. Very thankful we found this place.
xx- Elsie
Honestly- the reason I don’t use only one brand is that I don’t have a go-to brand that I use exclusively (at least not yet). I have just been going by whoever has the color I want. :))
xx- Elsie
I’d make everything blush if someone let me, haha.
Yay!!! So glad you posted your paint colors…I’ve been waiting! 🙂
Thanks for the resources! Do you find it is best to go with the specific paint brands mentioned for each color, or do you have a go-to paint brand and have that store color-match other brand names’ colors? For example if I wanted the Valspar paint color in a store that only sells Behr. I know people do this all the time but for some reason I always worry about how the color will turn out?
