Painting pickle!

Would like to paint this dining room -any ideas appreciated. I don't like the muddy brown in here. I would love a blue grey color but don't know if I can pull it off. The adjacent room color is Benjamin Moore Greenmount silk. Help! The exterior of our house is yellow with dark green shutters. How I long for blue!

10 years agoHi - I tried a blue gray, but feel like a richer tone might be better. Partly as your dining set is fairly dark and heavy and might overpower a lighter shade. Would you be interested in changing up the chairs (upholstery) or in painting them?

10 years agoAccording to BM, Greenmount silk goes well with Mineral alloy. And I think that thát would be a nice colour for your dining room :-)

I could almost see doing a combo of these colors, a lighter and a darker version, and having a wide vertical striped accent wall. Pull the greenmount silk onto the ceiling.

10 years agoThanks so much! I do think a reupholstery might work better. The frames of the chairs are so strong you could easily go "neutral" - so here is my first thought, do a classic gold and white damask? Or a tone on tone damask?

10 years agoThat particular fabric is described as having Light Blue, Ivory, Green And Gold, I'm not "seeing" all that but, it might be even nicer in person (definite need for a swatch!) You have a curvy thing going on with the lovely chandelier, the carving in the chairs and the staircase ... so a "curvy" pattern seemed logical (if a subtle one) and blues and gold go so well together.
I was working with mineral alloy and waters edge but britannia blue & mineral alloy might work too. On this ... you absolutely have to find one you like best and then find the next 2 shades lighter and of course, get samples and paint up some poster board before anything actually gets on the wall!
