Heyyyyy lovelies, welcome back to another video. In this video I will be sharing a couple things with you about what has been happening on my end. I will also be bringing you with me to the Geddington Squirt. You can skip this part as time stamp is on screen if you want to jump straight to paint colours.
My plan for our hallway is panelling and one colour throughout. I want our entry way / hallway to be a wow as soon as prospective buyers enter the house. This is such an important first impression.
The current colour in our hallway is Perfectly Taupe by DULUX and it has been my go to colour for around 13 years. I had my entire flat painted this colour before we moved here and I brought it over with me for the house.
However, since changing our floors and bringing in a much warmer tone, the walls look cold and I want to modernise the space with a complimenting wall colour.
All of the woodwork and trim in the space will be White. I just want the walls to be wow. I cannot wait to start the hallway transformation.

    Great choices! Whatever you pick will be great! Here are my thoughts: It's all about preference. If you like the little hint of green (you aren't crazy), pick the Clay Figurine. If you like a hint of pink (not crazy again), pick the Rabbit's Foot. If you want completely neutral and something to go with any color scheme (except you'll never find anything in grey to match), pick the Elephant's Breath. It is so elegant yet neutral! EB would be my husband's pick. I would pick RF for someplace feminine like my craft studio. Can't wait to see what you select! Good choice on nixing that green in the bathroom! Not the shade you wanted at all! Maybe you could take that plant with you and have the paint mixing people help you select a shade to compliment or match it.

  • @paulinebradford4823
    @paulinebradford48235 ай бұрын

    My vote would be for the Elephant's Breath. If your bathroom is off of the entryway hall, then the way to be sure is put the bathroom colour onto paper and hold it against the other colours. Then you'd know for sure if the hint of green in the other colour would compliment the bathroom colour or clash with it.

  • @PennyW09

    The lighter the color the bigger the space looks. People like to imagine themselves living there so a neutral color is good for that and what ever color their furnishings are will automatically fit it. You don’t want it too bespoke. Good luck 😊

    Oh, the Boxing Day water duel was hilarious! Loved it! Er...who won?? You never said! Oh, no! Your beautiful trees! 😢 Seeing that huge tree downed made me sick. 😱 We call the "hallway" the foyer (French pron.) or entry, in the States. A hallway, for us, is actually the narrow hall leading to baths and bedrooms...or wherever! ALL the colors are all beautiful! Elephant's Breath - slightly browned/grey tone. Warmish?, but clashes a bit with the floor, maybe. Rabbit's Foot - slightly pinkish, warm color (on my monitor). Really seems to brighten all the walls and looks great with the floors. Clay Figurine - definitely green! Cooler tone. I like the Elephant's Breath, but it may look too dark for an entry way? All the colors turned very yellowish in the darkest area of your house. Perhaps change out the lightbulb to a warm white (or change lampshade?) and see if that makes a diff in the paint colors. I can easily see sakura blossoms painted on the Clay Figurine or Rabbit's Foot...stunning! Probably look equally well on the Elephant's Breath. I'd paint some on all those samples and just see which one you like best?

Winter storms with heavy wet snow or ice are bringing down trees and electric lines across the US. I'm calling Elephant's breath for the win as most neutral. Yes I can see the pink and green hues in the other samples. Valspar... have you tried "Hanging Vine" on the bathroom, more a darker grayish green? 🤔

    Clay figurine has more of a green tone I think that matches the green you already have however,the elephants breath,is more of a neutral tone matching pretty much everything. I think the elephants breath would be best because of it being more neutral where as, the green is more of an accent color . So if you or a new buyer wanted to change the accent color the elephants breath would be much easier to match to any other color you would want to put next to it but the clay figurine would look even more green therefore making it harder to match later. I hope I explained that ok lol long story short I chose elephants breath because it’s more neutral and nicer for a more prominent color allowing for any accent colors to match better

    I chose elephant's breath on your last post about the paint but now I'm torn between that and clay figurine. I'm not sure i like the way clay figurine changes in the different light but i do like it better with your floors. That said, if you're really thinking that you'll be selling soon, elephant's breath will give you that cohesive look throughout even if it's not my preference with the floor color in the downstairs. I also thought the green would be nice but after seeing it, YUK! Definitely try for a eucalyptus color... Good luck!!
