Benjamin Moore Crystalline

2 years ago

Opinions needed! Refresh Master Bedroom. I recently had my master bedroom painted in BM Crystalline with SW Alabaster ceiling,crown and baseboard trim. I have lived with it for 2 weeks. It just hasn’t grown on me. I am trying to achieve a tranquil, romantic bedroom. Furniture stays. Everything else can go and be replaced. Adding large screen tv due to eyesight problems with some sort of table underneath. We are replacing windows (haven’t decided yet) and will get new window coverings/curtains. Plan to add IKEA Strandmon wing chairs (I know but we LOVE the comfort of them) in front of windows with the little round table in between which I am willing to have refurbished/stained/ painted.

Hi Patricia! Thanks for responding. I do not have the bedding yet. I was hoping to find a tranquil color on the walls that would work with many different colors of bedding. I was going for a sisal rug, off white curtains and white bedding look. I would pull the wall color through accounts like pillows or throws.

Yup, that's where I got the recommended Pilgrim Haze for Mosaic Glass and the White Rock for Liberty Park. The only problem is they only give the four colors, and I didn't think any of the others were good for the bath. I wanted to find some bluish colors, wish there were a way to ask Benjamin Moore 'what blues go with this color',etc..

I was looking at countertops ideas because my daughter is redoing her kitchen also (on a budget) and came across this formica product. Unfortunately its not available in Canada, where we live, but I thought of you. It says you can even get an undermount sink to get more of the stone look. If you are thinking about something green or blue for wall color in kitchen and yellow or cream in LR, new counters would be a great way to tie rooms together. Something with both colors and a bit of brown to match floor. If you are going to get some paint samples, it might be a good idea to get some countertop and backsplash tile samples at the same time, so you can see them all together first. furniturehouzz=]

Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter or Edgecomb Gray for main color throughou
Q

I just stumbled across your post and decided to share my experience. Our home has both Edgecomb Gray and Revere Pewter through out. Natural light really impacts the color. Originally, the entire house was painted Edgecomb except for the master bed and bath, laundry room and dining room. These rooms were painted Revere Pewter. Of the two colors, I prefer Revere Pewter. It is a bit darker and much cooler in tone than Edgecomb. Edgecomb appears to be a little warmer depending on the amount of natural light that the room gets. After living with Edgecomb in my kitchen and keeping room, I decided to paint it Revere Pewter and really like the change.

Do you dislike the color? I think maybe you just need to pull it together with accessories and finish decorating. White bedding would look great with that color. If you want tranquil, get some white curtains as well. I prefer blackout in the bedroom, which you can do with a linen, or if you have shades, then a filmy linen would look nice also. I think the color seems very tranquil, but the room isn’t finished yet, which is why you may not like it. Which fabric were you planning to use with the ikea chairs?

Susie! Thanks for responding. I do dislike the color. In the photos, the color appears more subdue but in person it is very bright, extremely minty causing the Sherwin Alabaster to appear stark white. The windows are only a mere few feet from our blue plastered pool which I suspect is causing the Benjamin Moore Crystalline to go more green perhaps even yellow. I am trying to understand how my color selection went so wrong. I walk into the room feel "ugh". As for the Strandmon charts from Ikea, there are several suitable choices of fabric but until I figure out which direction I go with the paint, I won't select the chairs. I'll try to attach a Houzz photo of a room a LOVE. Finally, you are correct about finishing out the room and the difference it can make. I am considering that also.

May I ask how high your ceilings are? I am trying to decide whether to apply crown moulding on a similar room!
