Ok, so I'm no Herve Villechaise.
We decided to try a few colors of milk paint to see which colors we liked for all of the interior stucco walls. It's hard to choose because it's an open concept and the stucco will be meeting several different colored walls which have already been done. We would like to find a color that will work with everthing, as this is not something we want to have to do very often.
Milk paint is a powder so it gets mixed in the blender which I knew I kept for 31 years for a reason!! Ha! But I think I will check out the flea markets for a second one, to maybe speed up the process. Andre had the paint on the wall before I could mix up the next color. So here is our test wall, of which we are not liking any of our choices. I ordered different colors today, so we will have another go at it on another wall next week.
Our conundrum is we like rich dark colors, but with the milk paint, it would be easier to use a light color. We wouldn't require as much product or effort to get complete coverage, as if you miss spot with a light color it doesn't show as much as it would with the richer shades. But we don't want the place to feel like a cave on dark days. And we need a color that won't clash with the pine ceilings, which while fairly light now, will darken over the years. Can you see how this would contribute to indecision??
Should be easier to pick a color for the outside. Our only concern there is to not choose something garish that would upset the neighborhood.
