New red for the dining room!

12 years ago
After years of searching for the right shade of Tuscan red, I found it and am so pleased with the results!

    Thank you so much. The walls were sage before which I liked but really wanted a little more drama. Here's a picture that gives an idea...sorry for the clutter on the table!

    Where did you find the red? Who makes it & what's the name?

    I'm also planning a red dining room. My color to beat is Chrysanthemum, but yours is really nice!!

    Your lamps & artwork are perfect too!

    Very nice. I have heard it said that you eat more and talk more in a red dining room. Happy gatherings and Merry Christmas.

    Beautiful color and room. Congrats!

    Love your rug...can you tell what kind it is?
  • 12 years ago
    Love your color. It is so hard to find a red that doesn't absorb all the lite. My favorite is Martha Stewarts bee balm red. Good job!

    Bungalowmo the color was matched so there is no labeling per say. When in Italy staying at a B&B we told the the innkeepers how much we loved the color of our room. Upon leaving they presented us with some of the paint in a baby jar. It took six attempts of different paint companies to match and finally had a success!

    Well, darn. Wouldn't you know! Guess I'll look at Bee Balm....(curious as to which company achieved the match?!)

    If you call Daly's Paint in Bellevue, WA 425.454.3093 and ask about the recent red that was matched for "Larry the Painter" (our painter) I'll bet that will work. It is a woman that works there that was successful for us. Good luck!!

    The red is amazing. We have found that red accents any dark wood furnishings and brings life to any smaller space. Beautiful!

    Daly's Paint probably doesn't get many calls from Texas, but I just might try it...Thanks!

    Diane let me know if you need more info...we can make this work! Happy New Year!

    The combination of that Red with the dark furniture , black accents and white woodwork is sheer perfection. Not sure if I like the chandelier. A photo does not always do justice and here it is not lit. Does it hang too low? I bet you received many hoo's and haa's from your holiday visitors. I enjoyed your story with the baby-jar filled with the paint. You get my well deserved congratulations.

    Thanks, pirzadeh! Red 's can be tricky...and my husband is red/green color blind..so no help there! MIGHT need more info...would be the perfect color for our powder room.

    Love the color! I may be calling for the color. We just bought a house and I want a red dining room. :)

    Good luck and have fun with your new house, Jack!

    Any place like Home Depot, Lowes. All can match. You can use a what ever you want, to get just the right color. I've taken pillow cases, flowers, clothes. A picture in a book. They put item in computer, and get what you want.

    Would this color match with my dining room?
  • 10 years ago

    Nancy that is typically correct hands down - but it was not in this case. Trust me, we went to all of the box stores first. :) they couldn't come close!

    I love it! It is intimate and romantic!

    Also not a fan of red dining rooms, but this red is perfect! You may also want to ask the paint company to give you the number code that was used on it, to keep in the future. They may not remember it 2 years from now.

    Red is a powerful color. Sometimes it is hard to find that right shade, for every time of day. Congratulations on your beautiful find! It looks great.

    I never gravitate towards red's but I have to say that with the white wainscoting this looks fabulous. And those windows are so adorable. I love this space. Nice work putting your vision together! Hope you enjoy endless dinner parties!
