Hi jocko97! Thanks for reaching out, and so sorry for our delayed response! What an exciting project you are working on, though. Painting your island a bold color compared to the rest of your kitchen can be the perfect finishing touch! Both of the colors you have selected would look absolutely beautiful! It just depends on the type of blue you would want. The Newburyport Blue would provide a more saturated and darker hue of blue to your kitchen, whereas the Blue Heron will be a little more subdued and with a grey wash.

In the kitchen here, we used Benjamin Moore Van Deusen Blue.

Best of luck on your project, and we hope this helps!

Need help choosing a paint for family room. I am using SW Repose Grey for kitchen and Hallway. Kitchen looks into family room so I am thinking a lighter grey for that room. Recommendations

Most Fired Earth paint colours are available in masonry paint, it's expensive (compared to standard masonry paint) but goes on a dream, with great coverage. Gives you a great choice of colours, we went with Stone Ocre, although on a more modern house, it looks much nicer than white or magnolia (IMHO).

You could go for a warm grey scheme like Elephants Breath on the render, Charleston Gray on the woodwork and a different colour on the door like Brassica (all F&B), or if you prefer a traditional grey, purbeck stone render and moles breath on all the woodwork. You could always ask a F&B colour consultant on their facebook page.

Sal, Your kitchen looks beautiful! Its such a pain having to choose colours but I guess its definately worth it at the end. Going to order some test pots today and try as suggested. I like the feel mellow mocha gave to your kitchen - bounces back light and the contrast on the other side of the wall - the copper blush! Looking at doing something similar but want whatever colour I choose to flow through our lounge (its open plan) without 'breaking' the feel- if you get what I mean! Thanks, will defo post pics once done.

Thanks Colour Happy. Plasterer has been in already but only plastered where needed so I'm assuming that means we don't need to plaster behind wall paper (some of which had to be removed for the rewiring) and Painter seems happy enough to do remainder of filling/smoothing walls but thanks for the tip, I'll definitely check again with them. Re sisal, no dogs but small kids at home so need to stick to softer/more standard carpet!

Hi jocko97, thanks so much for your inquiry! Repose Gray is definitely a difficult color to work with because Sherwin Williams has many grey tones that come in a similar shade as Repose Grey, but the two colors that we would recommend you take a look at are SW 9165 Gossamer Veil and SW 9166 Drift of Mist. Keep in mind that paint colors will appear different in different lighting, but we feel that Repose Gray has a warm tone to it and would be complimented by Gossamer Veil and Drift of Mist.

Hope this helps, and best of luck on your project!

Hi there! We’re in a similar situation. Using Newburyport blue for the dining room and Stonington Gray in the adjacent living room. But the living room opens into a 2 story foyer that doesn’t get much natural sunlight. Any recommendations on BJ colors we could use? I tempted to do white dove floor to ceiling to brighten up the dull foyer / entry.

Thanks for asking @Ani R! We used BM White Dove OC-17 on the perimeter cabinets and BM Van Deusen Blue HC-156 on the island...both in a satin enameled finish.

Hope this helps!

Could you share the white subway tile that you paired with the BM White Dove?

Of course! The subway tile we used is 3" x 6" Sonoma Square Edge in Super White.

Hi! @Martha O'Hara Interiors, your work is absolutely stunning!! I was wondering if you would be so kind and could help me out in regards to the backsplash tile used in this project? I've scowered the Sonoma website and I haven't been able to find the color Super White. I realize this post is almost from 4 years ago and the company possibly changed the names of colors of their tiles. I just wanted to confirm that the tile in this post is indeed Super White. The Sonoma website shows Pure White, Alpine Snow and Blanco. I'd like to coordinate it with BM White Dove cabinets. Any help is greatly appreciated and thank you for your time!! ~Mary

Hello @Mary, thanks for asking! It looks like they no longer have a "Super White" option. You may think about looking into their "Pure White Glossy" option instead: https://sonomatilemakers.com/product/pure-3x6/

Hope this helps!
