Thanks for posting, demi. I knew you had these colors, but I thought you might have moved to greener pastures. Nice to see your gorgeous rooms again!

Thanks, amy, I need to add some finishing touches to the house but was sidetracked with life and recently other life changes; hopefully in the coming year or so I'll have a renewed interest in decorating and complete my plans for the house.

I do like to pop in now and then to see what's new--I still love all of my EK colors!

omg! what a beautiful home you have.. wow! Thank you so much for sharing ..I appreciate it very much.. I absolutely love the colors, very warm and rich.. You have beautiful furniture and I think you did great with picking these colors, they all compliment each other. I just received my 90 piece sample pack from EK.. I canÂt wait to start painting.. I am definitely using the mocha in my family room, leaning towards the sage in my kitchen and breakfast room.. ( they kind of go Âinto one another) I think they will look wonderful one room to the next.. I may even get a little daring and use "ChristineÂs cloud" on the ceilings, or another one of her very pale blues, I think it will be gorgeous with the browns ..I do have my work cut out for me, thatÂs for sure , but it will be worth it! :)

Thanks again! Enjoyed your pics!

Thank you, reeree. There are actually ten different EK colors in my home. I was originally nervous about using so many different colors, but they transition very well. Here is a photo of the EK Sage, which I used in my small gym and in the laundry room.

I can't believe all of my favorite colors are all in your house!! 3 down, 7 to go.. what other colors do you have... :) Once again, it looks fantastic. I agree. .her paints seem to work very well together, I just love them. I like the sage very much ..my kitchen has dark cherry cabinets, with tan-ish subway tumbled marble and antique bronze accent tiles.. I think it would work well in there.. Have you ever used a pale blue on your ceilings?? I am not a blue person, but I have seen it done in pictures and I think it is a pretty lookÂ. IÂll see how that goes as I have always been a white ceiling personÂ

Thanks again, love it
Ree

Wow!! Beautiful rooms, Demifloyd....

Smiles:)

Reeree, all of my ceilings here are Gustavian Gray. I also used GG and Alex Blue in the last house, but the GG just tends to work better with the wall colors I am drawn to.

Demi, I have heard you allude to some big life changes and I send you warm wishes for peace and the smooth passage of time, which heals most wounds. I am glad Ellen's colors still bring you some joy.

I have the sample card to GG..I like it , a very soft and calm color. Does it lean towards gray or blue? I canÂt figure it out.. sometimes it leans toward blue, other times gray. I also like a fairly new one EK put out, called Christine's Cloud, that is a beautiful one also. What sparked an interest on going towards the pale blue ceiling believe it or not was hollygolightlyÂs guest BR.. She gave me the colors, but we do not have her brand paint around here, but SW can mix it.. when I saw EKÂs colors, I found similar pale blueÂs and I was hooked on her colors across the board. Truly beautiful. If you have a picture of you GG, I would love to see it on your ceiling .
Thanks
Ree

Demi

I am not sure what you have been enduring , but I am sending you my thoughts and best wishes .

Thanks, scoobyruby !

Reeree, I forgot I have Gustavian Grey, as well, on my ceiling in my dressing room, so that's twelve EK colors.

I asked Ellen to custom make several colors for me--one is what a friend of mine described as "Cognac," so that is what Ellen decided to name it! I used Cognac in my living/dining room, and the custom blue she made for me is what she named "Dusk." It is on the barrel ceiling in the dining room and in the foyer--so yes, I have blue ceilings!

Thank you for your good thoughts--I am not comfortable posting details here but let's say that those moments in life that you dread and think are down the road--one day they happen before the sun goes down--or comes up.

reeree - Demi's home is an inspiration!
I loved her Cognac so much that I used it in my master bedroom. I have used 7 of EK's colors and love them all. I have used mustard seed the most - it's in my family room, kitchen and basement. I have Lavender Mist in the guest room, Ashen Green (might be my favorite) in my dining room, Wheat in the common areas, Berry Red in my powder room, Parchment in my master dressing area and master bath. I love them all!!

Good luck choosing - there are so many beautiful colors!

Demi

geez.. your killing me. .lol! besides you having beautiful colors that go perfect together. .your home is amazingly beautiful.. so much detail.. you can tell a lot of love went into it, you must love to come home at the end of the day. .or anytime of the day :) I like the GG.. ah. .decisions, decisions!

thanks again, I love it all!
Ree

Yes, Demi's house truly is! I remember your home too..beautiful!! I remember your kitchen with honeymoon..it looks beautiful in there. I also remember when you were doing your BR. I almost did my kitchen HM, but I wanted 'light and bright' after I removed all the wall paper.. I went with BM putnam ivory in three rooms that go into one another. .now I need a change. it is very boring to say the least. I love EK colors, they make a statement for sure, so I am ready!

I really missed GW..I haven't been here in a long time. .life took me to other places... every time I pop on someone else is sharing there talent.. so many on here are inspirationsÂ.

Post your pictures, would love to re visit them!
Thanks!
Ree

Demi..I forgot to mention.. I have your custom colors in my sample pack.. That is so neat they came from you! That is a huge compliment that Ellen incorporated your custom colors into her line! wow!! One other question. .what white did you use for your trim??

My trim color is SW Rice Grain--it has a lot of green in it, but so do the EK colors I used.

If you have more beige or pink in your colors, SW Wool Skein is a good off white trim color.

I have basically your colors.. I am a green, gold, red person... I was thinking of BM white dove... a lot of my trim in the front of the house is just white..now using browns, I want a white that is not so stark, but still looks white..if that makes sense.. I am still throwing it around...

thanks again..I will check that out too!

reeree - my kitchen is mustard seed and it connects to the family room. I am also a gold/red/green person. EK has pictures of my rooms in her gallery. My kitchen has dark maple cabinets with New Venetian Gold granite. It is still not "finished" - I need to get some window treatments up. I guess when I am ready I will come here for advice.
Keep us posted on your choices!!

reeree - take a look at the post concerning taking a look at 5 houses. Click on the first house - Nantucket - and scan through to the master bedroom. They have painted it a choc brown - might give you inspiration for your Mocha/Adobe room.

I will have to take another look in EK's gallery and see your rooms on there .. that is pretty neat! I don't know why, I was thinking your kitchen was cherry..my mistake.

I did see the 5 houses thread..I saw the milk chocolate room..as much as I love it, it is too dark for my family room... I was then leaning with Mocha...but in the morning light is seems to take on a gray look... same thing with the edgewood green in my kitchen, but the afternoon light it looks like they are suppose to as to the color card sample..I am also playing with chestnut... I am taking my time to figure it all out..it's amazing how hard it is to get it all right..one thing, after this I want to hang up my brushes for a while :)

hoyamom

I saw your rooms on Ek's site..very pretty! I saw your kitchen again and I remember it well.. They do look like cherry on my monitor... MS looks beautiful in there, very warm. I do have a quick question about EK paints..how much do the colors change? Is it just like any other paint when the lighting is different??

Ree

I am not sure if they actually "change" but there is a richness to them. When I have guests they always comment on the paint in that family room - not so much what's IN there (furniture etc) but the paint. The diningroom (Ashen Green) is the same way - just really rich.
When my painter saw the Ashen Green for the dining room he kind of said it was too dark for my north facing room but when he was finished painting he said it was an awesome color and it ended up looking totally different from what he expected it to. Same here - so I had him put it in my basement bathroom with no windows and it looks great in there.
So yes, lighting does make a difference. I have Wheat in my common areas and into my husband's office. It's ok, not really my favorite - not really "luminous" so I may have it redone in a few years with some other color - more of a cream. Wheat is too yellow in those areas. I know you aren't considering those colors anyway. I would respect anything that Demi says - she really has an eye for color.

I forgot one other color I have - one of my favorites - Aqua!! How could I forget that one? That one looks luminous too.

Ahhhh, aqua is a beautiful color. Where did you use that? I will tell you what I think is an incredible combination, I would of never thought of using the two colors together in a million years.. Demi using cognac and dusk together. .that is just gorgeous.. I have my dining room and stair way separated by and entry.. All painted a color almost exactly like mustard seed.. With white raised panels walls on the bottom (entry & stair way only) so now I am thinking to use dusk in the middle (entry) my fear?? It will look horrible when I do it.. lol! I guess you can say, I really need a lift.. I guess I am feeling I am not in love with my house as I once was. Thoughts of moving is always on my mind for years, but this house has good bones and it needs to be brought out. Funny how it comes so natural to help family and friends decorate, but when it comes to my own house, I go blank after nearly 7 years in this house, I finally have ideas in what I want to do with moldings and mill work.. It is challenging to keep it to the house ( circa 1887) Now just getting the colors down pat will be a big plus. Wish you guys lived closer, I would have a decorating party ! But I do appreciate the long distance , cyber world inspiration and help I have received from many of you! I have truly learned so much!!

Thanks again!
Ree

I was going through Ellen's picture pages and saw my bathroom in there - the Aqua one and then I remembered it. It is very close to the Grey Wisp I just put in my DD's room.

I hope you will find what works in your house. I have Cognac in my master bedroom and would love to put some crown molding up and paint the ceiling dusk - it might be very relaxing.

I love this board bc I have a hard time seeing the big picture and putting it all together. The people on this site are so helpful.
Keep us posted on what you decide.

It is good to see you are back, you have been missed. You have helped me with a lot of your favorite cleaning products on the cleaning site. Your house is also beautiful and remember especially your pretty dining room and stair case. I hope you will post how you like the EK paints.
