BM Pale Oak BM Revere Pewter BM Quiet Moments SW Silver Strand
As a Realtor, paint is my friend. It makes a huge difference in the overall appeal of a home. Clients often say that they don’t want to get rid of old wallpaper or do any painting because they don’t know what color a new buyer may want. Bad idea. Everyone can see themselves in a fresh, neutral space, and my response is that I know the colors. One of my “go-to” colors is Benjamin Moore Pale Oak. It’s a soft neutral color that is a blend
of gray and beige, and it usually works well with existing trim colors. Another favorite is Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter, which is still neutral but has a little more color if you want to make the woodwork really pop. Picking colors for new construction is a little different. I usually keep the main spaces neutral but will put some color in bedrooms. Some of my favorites for the master are Benjamin Moore Quiet Moments and Sherwin Williams Silver Strand. Both colors complement most bathroom tile. I like to use semigloss on the trim, and either flat or eggshell paint on the walls. Flat hides imperfections and can be touched up, but eggshell is easier to scrub. Central Virginia HOME Spring 2017
