Covington Blue from Benjamin Moore is a classic inviting tone inspired by the documented colors found in 18th- and 19th- century architecture.  Perhaps as a nod to childhood memories of my grandmother’s house, I chose to paint the kitchen cabinets of this Nantucket cottage in this wonderful shade of blue.  The honed carrera marble on the countertops and a porcelain farmhouse sink from Whitehaus serve to reinforce the old world feel.

Yellow is a sunny color and generates feeling of happiness and optimism.  Buttery from Pratt & Lambert was the perfect yellow for the walls of this oceanside guest room-not too light and lemony yet not too dark and gold. To create a “fresh and airy” feel, I used a crisp white on the ceiling and on the iron beds. Printed sheets, incorporating a stronger yellow for contrast as well as two shades of blue, and a handmade rag rug with just a bit of grass green complete the scheme.
