Hi there,

Who would think that there would be so many choices for whites and creams? :o) But, there are! We went on a parade of home tours and fell in love with one of the showcase home's paint colors. So, we investigated, and we learned that the woodwork was painted a warm, creamy color - BM Vanilla Ice Cream. We used that in our house, and we have warm colors (a lot of BM historical colors - reds, browns, and golds) on the walls. They work well together.

Why not try painting up some samples?

That's my problem! There are too many to choose from and I can't decide. Do I want to go lighter or darker than I already have? As I was driving in my car today, I was thinking of all of our friends homes that we have been in and can not even remember if I noticed the colors or not! So does it really matter if its slightly different from what it was? I really just want to change the brand of paint :)

When I chose my color for the kitchen/dining room, I must have taken home 10-15 samples if not more. Even a few gallons that I didn't end up using. And our bedroom has about a dozen diff color samples on it right now. I'll have to post that one soon.. Thanks!

There are a number of Bejamin Moore whites that are ready-mixed. You may want to start with those for convenience, because of convenience and not having to worry about color matches at different retailers.

I ended up getting a similar color that I have now, BM bone white. It doesn't have a # but is one of their "interior" whites. The vanilla ice cream was too yellow I think. It is very pretty though. I really liked those historical colors. Oh the choices! Thanks for your input!

I have BM vanilla ice cream on my trim also. I love new york harbor and my breakfast room is painted that
