Yellow. One of the trickiest paint colors to get right is yellow, but this shade is just right. A tip for picking a yellow from a paint fan deck: Select something that looks almost beige. Yellow is always much brighter on a wall than on a paint chip. This sun-filled dining room is painted in Benjamin Moore's Mushroom Cap 177.

The owners requested places where the kids could sleep, study, play video games and read. To fit all those functions into one 14- by 24-foot space, De Jesus worked with Rausch Construction to build a loft and tuck two full-size beds and a desk underneath; the loft holds a pair of twin beds. “It’s not a beach house, but they wanted it to feel like it was near water,” says the architect. To give the room a maritime feeling, he covered the walls with board and batten and applied PPG Pittsburgh Paints’ Sheffield Gray. “The whole space is wood paneled, so it’s very durable,” De Jesus says. A TV hangs above a custom cabinet adorned with colorful drawer fronts chosen by the boys. Valances over the windows conceal shades.
