Another classic color on the ready mix fan deck strip is Linen White.

While Decorators white tends to green, Linen white is a pale tint of yellow, yet not as dark as Navajo White or Ceylon Ivory by Pratt and Lambert.

It is light yet still warm. Not only is it on the Ready Mix paint strip, it is also 912 on the Classic Colors fandeck.

The best thing about Linen White may be when it is mixed with Decorators White!

Confused about white? Try some of the ready mixed Benjamin Moore whites. 

Benjamin Moore has quite a few shades of Ready Mixed Whites, Decorators White being a very popular part of this collection.

Benjamin Moore Decorators white is cooler than Linen White and slightly bluer /cooler than White Dove. 

It is more subdued than Atrium White, which can be very, very stark (and a little pinkish).

The blue and white plays well in combination with the striped awning and the taupe stucco. Love those awnings!

Garden stools are a stunning and practical addition to every space! 

Tomorrow is the last day!

Though it involves a lot of work, move out is always a "designer party." We collaborate, commiserate and celebrate a job well done! Designers are a fantastic group of people and I am always in awe of their creativity. The camaraderie and conviviality is truly inspiring. That being said, I'm looking to tomorrow's move out and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

The Living Room

The living room is done! This was a very quick turn around for a "show house."  Typically, when I participated in the Tulsa Designer Showcase, or the Parade of Homes we toured or had the floorplans for the home several months before the Showcase was to open. We had many weeks to work on the home. In this case, we only had a few short weeks to select a room, make a plan and pull it all together. 

The finishing touches are complete and the home is ready to tour. The color scheme I chose is a classic blue & white with personalized touches for the DC area.

As a reminder...

Here is a before picture, the room has beautiful features, but it was a cavernous space!
