The Shabby Nest Try Ralph Lauren's Nantucket White.

harleygirl Thanks to you both! I'll try and make it work. I guess colors you wouldn't normally pick yourself force you to open up and consider other possibilities. I don't like the powder blue and brown, but black looks okay. In most of these pics, the predominate color seems to be white...which makes sense to me and looks good. But then white shows every speck of dirt. Maybe I'll just ignore the walls and decorate the way I would if the walls were a neutral color. It might all fit together in the end. If not, hello painter!

Marie Hebson's interiorsBYDESIGN Inc. Actually, in my photos the main wall colour is a warm gray - not white - accessories are white and brown and caribbean blue. good luck with you home, but I would not pair blue with black -

Anne DeCocco Try out the classic Palladian Blue/HC-144 (Ben Moore) on the walls and Feather Down/OC-6 on the wainscotting for this peaceful vibe.
