Hi friends! I get questions multiple times a day regarding the main wall colors at Our Vintage Nest, so I thought it was time to share our paint selections… Thank you for your interest! For those of you curious as to what brand and sheen I use, I love Sherwin Williams in a matte Duration finish. I’ve painted every room in our home and have learned from trial and error that this one works best for application and overall look. I love the low sheen of a matte finish and find it works great in all rooms, including bathrooms! It’s perfect for high traffic areas and can easily be wiped clean from daily wear. On the finishes scale, it’s sheen is between flat and eggshell.
Our master bedroom is a beautiful gray green called SW Comfort Gray. I have used this color several times in this home and in previous homes. It’s such a warm tone that makes any room cozy and inviting.
Here it is again in the same room. I love how the wall color coordinates beautifully with our gallery wall.
Another favorite on the same color card is SW Sea Salt. We used this color in our downstairs dining room turned piano room; I love how the sun hits it in the morning. I have plans to use this again in our new home.
Our living room and entry is a color that came recommended to me by a few design friends and Pinterest, of course. This brand color is the exception to the majority in our home. It’s a Benjamin Moore color called Edgecomb Gray… I love this warm light gray. During certain times of the day, however, it can sometimes give off a lavender tone, which I learned later… It never bothered me enough to change it though. Now that we are building, I’ve decided to change the overall downstairs and entry color to a fool proof gray, which I will share in a future new home post.
So, there you have it! These are the main wall colors at Our Vintage Nest that get the most questions. I stayed with similar neutral tones, so that there would be even transition flow. I hope you find this helpful when choosing colors for your home.
Blessings,
Thanks for enlightening us on the colors! It looks amazing!
You’re welcome! Thanks so much!
I just started following you and realized that we have so many of the same colors in our house so I have a question! We have the SW comfort gray in our bedroom and bathroom and a very similar gray throughout most of the rest of the house. It’s not edge comb gray, but SW accessible beige (bc every gray looked lavendar but this beige actually appears gray). we have a ranch style house so all bedrooms are in the back.. My question is- since we have comfort gray in our bedroom, do you think sea salt would look okay across the hall in my daughters’ room? Is it different enough from comfort gray but also blend well with the overall color scheme?
Hi Lauren… Sorry for my delayed response. It’s been a crazy few weeks!
Ironically, I used both of those colors very close together. They are both warm tones (and from the same paint card), so they pair beautifully. Hope that helps!
What is the color in your new laundry room?
Hi Amanda… I used SW Sea Salt in this new laundry room. Hope that helps!
Maybe I missed it but what color do you have on your dining room walls? That one with your round table from a flea market😅 I just love love it!
Hi… That color is also Agreeable Gray by Sherwin Williams. Thanks for your interest!
Hello! Love your paint colors and am in the processing of picking drywall texture…can you tell me what yours is called? In some pictures it looks like there’s none and in others a faint texture. I love the look bc it’s very classic which is what I’m going for.
Hi Amy… We just used a classic orange peel texture, nothing special. This was something I didn’t have a strong opinion about… You’re right, the texture they used is very subtle. :)
Where is the five drawer chest in your foyer from? Thank you.
Hi… It’s an antique I found at a local antique flea market.
What color are the kitchen cabinets and wall color?
Hi Rhonda… This is from our previous home, but if memory serves me correctly, the cabinet color is SW Antique White and the wall color is BM Edgecomb Gray. Hope that helps and my apologies for the late reply.
Hello, I was wondering if you updated your new wall color that was a safer choice than edgecomb grey. Always love your style. Getting close to painting my living room and thought about edgecomb. I’ve used edgecomb and revere pewter in another room but not overly excited about them. Thank you!
Hi! This blog post is from our previous home. You’ll find a more recent blog post of our new home paint colors, where I used a more fool proof gray. Hope that helps!
I’ve scoured your blog and cannot find the name of your creamy trim color.
That must be my old house, that color is Antique White. For current colors, check the September 2016 archives. I have a detailed post of all our trim and wall colors. Thanks for your interest!
Hi is your master bedroom silver strand or comfort grey. I don’t know how to tell which one is current.
Your home is beautiful. I’m sorry I’m so confused.
Hi Pam… The September 2016 posts are the accurate paint colors for our current home. Hope that helps and thanks for your interest.
