    Ditto: what's the wall color?

    I saw Adrienne de Rosa has an article on this house. She says the following for this picture:

    "Natural accessories and upholstered seating bring the foyer's grand proportions down to earth. Sunlight pours in from a second-story window.

    Inspired by old houses and buildings seen throughout their travels in Europe, the Schneiders chose to replicate an aged plaster look at home. Using a dual color technique, they covered the walls with khaki and green paint from Sherwin-Williams, mixed with an acrylic glaze.

    It's Sherwin Williams paint throughpout the house. The trim is Dover White (same as outside). Don't have info recorded on most wall colors, all old paint cans recently thrown away when storage area cleaned out. But the color combo of the entry & loft is a caramel & a lighter khaki tan. The paint system/technique is Wagner's Wall Magic. I used to get their supplies @ Sherwin Williams, but my local SW no longer carries their supplies - maybe Lowes or Home Depot would?. I've attached a couple links that might get you started. One is actual supplies on Amazon & the other is, I think, a pretty good verbal (no visuals) description of how to do the treatment. If you can locate a kit, there is an instructional video for visuals. 3 FYI's: 1) There are different type painting rollers available (rag, sponge, wool, etc.). I used the wool rollers. 2) Important to pick 2 paint colors for this treatment & for a more subtle effect, you want to pick 2 colors close together/in similar tones on any 1 or 2 different paint sample cards. And the more you continue to roll/blend, the more subtle it is overall. 3) I added some (non-colored) glaze to my paint to provide more workability & subtlety to the technique. What we found is that is also makes the final finish more durable - a bonus. You'll have to play with your ratio (& possibly different color combos) - I used about 1 part glaze to 3 parts paint & did all the pre-mixing ahead of time for paint material consistency & color in application. We used throughout our home, but I think one of the best photo examples of how this technique can turn out would be the bathroom photo showing part of the tub.

    As luck would have it, we found some old paint cans in the garage that never made it into the trash & were stored w/ the exterior paints by mistake. Both paints were from SW & were SW color #1096 & SW mixed up Benjamin Moore's "Baked Cumin" for us (they can look the color up & do the same one). The primer on the walls was likely tinted SW #6157, Favorite Tan (we've used that as a primer tint to most of our interior walls).
