A better view. First picture was non existent kitchen.

I would stick with the classic white. You'll want the contrast with 7". Also - it's easy to paint the walls when you're tired of the grey but trim is a bigger job & it never looks as nice

Thanks Laura.....For some reason, white trim in this house seems stark. The interior doors are alder, wood floor is going to a taupe/ grey tone. Nervous. Neutral tones in kitchen - no white anywhere else. Does that matter?

I agree, a lighter color on the walls would keep the airiness of the room and a timeless combination with the wood flooring.

If the white woodwork seems too much there is a light pewter by BM paints that would look light still not stark

If the white is more to the creamy side (vs stark bright blue white) it will pull it together. Is the alder natural or stained? By creamy I mean a hint of it-- not yellow white at all. It will provide a classic backdrop for you. I painted my exterior Sherwin Wms. Intellectual gray with a slightly cream in the white and it's crisp classic looking. I think it will give you a good backdrop for the room. It looks like you've got higher ceilings, so the subtle contrast will look great! I'll see if I can find a creamy example for you to go with the grey you selected

Check out BM "white dove" it looks great with Revere Pewter. I used Edgecomb gray a few years ago in a Master BR (got lots of light) & the trim was white it looked amazing. Just to make sure since you're doing the entire house, I would buy a piece of 7" baseboard & a big poster board and paint them in those colors. Move them around the rooms at different times of day to see how it looks in your light. Many designers put colors up and tweak several times. My husband always goes nuts (just wants it done) but I'm always happier in the end. Good luck!

Laura....Fortunately I am able to paint right on the textured walls. I tried 2 colors yesterday and they were not good. I will pick up White Dove this morning and give it a try. I am painting the whole house the same color for now. Are you suggesting Revere Pewter for the walls and white dove for the trim? I actually love the feel of the house right now....not that I would leave it stark white but I do want to keep the light feel it has. I once went through 20 samples before I settled on a bedroom color. My husband goes nuts too (he's out of town right now so I can do this without scrutiny.)

Anyone familiar with Sherman Williams Accessible Beige?

White Dove trim -- and try Edgecomb gray too-- it's a bit lighter

BM overcast is a soothing greige and looks great with white dove.

Hi Nancy. I am not sure why you are opting for all one color, but if you are open to variations of that color, I would recommend that approach. There are great, simple architectural planes to this space that would be shown to great advantage by using a slightly darker version of whatever the wall color becomes. For example, if you only paint the back wall of the inset to the right of the fireplace and the fireplace surround a darker color, those areas of architectural interest would be enhanced and this would also strengthen those focal points. I am not a fan of painting this woodwork any form of white, I must say. With the rustic columns (will they be stained or will they remain this light?) Grey tones with white trim just isn't what this space says to me. I like YOUR idea of painting the trim a bit darker than the wall color. Not a lot, perhaps two shades... It would also make great sense to utilize a trim color that draws from the columns, whatever finish they ultimately end up being. Why not use the Edgecomb on the walls and the Revere on the baseboard...Good Luck. It's a great space!

Thank you Daniel, I didn't provide enough information. The fireplace is going to be stone in shades of greys & taupes with stained grout. The inset on the right of the fireplace is going to have cabinet & shelving built ins - it will match the kitchen cabinet color which is a dark coffee stain - almost black. The lodge poles will be stained - not sure how dark they will be. Any input there?

Daniel brings up some good points! I thought the poles were just not finished.....are you going for a mountain lodge look? If so, the white trim would be out of place... The two grays would work well together. Staining all the trim the same color (baseboards too) would also look good. Keeping all of the walls one color will keep the feel more open and airy though if that's what you're after.

Thanks for the additional info., nancy. With that info, I re-iterate everything I recommended. Column finish? What about a DARK Ash stain, followed by whitewash to give it a coloration that looks like sunbleached wood. Very much in keeping with your planned stone and the palette you are wisely considering.

Just finished painting the boards. LOVE the Edgecomb for the walls and Revere for the baseboards. I like the suggestion for the lodge pole stain. I was in favor of covering them but my husband liked them. We just moved to colorado from the Palm Springs, CA area. We had a modern home there so I am adjusting and really appreciate the helpful suggestions.

Do very white for all trim. Love the grey throughout. You can use a shade darker on poles. And fireplace would be dramatic ..

You will love the white trim. I have put it in so many homes with the gray. Perfect!

Buy a few sample colors for walls, no more than 5 study in different lights. Do not get crazy. This is suppose to be fun. Relax. You are asking for suggestion. Put colors that have been suggested on walls. Pick one. Don't ask for too many people to put their views in. Just go with 1st one you like. It's just paint once furn and art is up, you won't even notice it anymore.

Thanks everyone for all the great advice and suggestions.

Edgecomb Grey looked fabulous with EVERYTHING, so we are done...whew.
