Here's a sneak peek at a fun job I'm doing at a San Francisco family home. What follows are "before" and "during" photos.

The client (head bowed in photo, I will reveal her name in the "after" post) desired what we came to call "The Queen's Green" for the living room walls. We chose Ben Moore's Georgian Green. We used Ben Moore's Cloud White for the woodwork throughout the home.

What was once a pink dining room is now Mellow Ivory, also Benjamin Moore. Which by the way looks absolutely nothing like it did on the swatch and it's the one color that we didn't sample on the wall first, but we were quite pleased with the outcome.

Your wild grandma's bathroom!
We loved all of the paint samples combined. Trouble is, we didn't like any of them individually. I considered broad stripes using the blue one with one of the lighter green ones. You'll have to wait for the "after" post to see what was finally decided.

Previously pink hallway. I had the Benjamin Moore shop copy Farrow & Ball's Elephant's Breath (a savings of $50 per gallon!). It's my new favorite grey.
