So many of my friends have used Wrought Iron in their homes now it's kind of become my signature color. We even used it for the entire exterior for the SaddleShack project! I love love it, but it's not the only color in my house I'm in love with! Here are all of my favorites...what are your go-to colors you use at home and where do you find inspiration?

Benjamin Moore Wrought Iron

This color is the second most prominent in our house. We used it as the accent wall color in my son's bedroom. We also used it on the vanity in the kids bathroom! I love that it is not quite black and not quite gray. That it looks blue in certain lights and charcoal in others. It's a beautifully versatile color. I am thinking about using it to paint the brick around the fireplace in our living room too!

Benjamin Moore White Dove

The actual most-used color in my house, White Dove. IMO this is the most perfect, creamiest, softest, dreamiest white there is. We paired it with Benjamin Moore Super White paint to truly bring out the creaminess against the stark white of the trim, and it's a look I create over and over in the homes of my clients. We also used it on the cabinets in the kitchen!

Benjamin Moore Pink Beach

The accent door! I love a good accent door, and this pink one was inspired by a Pinterest post I saw when we were renovating. I have loved it so much, although I am currently thinking about changing it! I am likely going to add some paneling to the mudroom wall, and paint it all in the same color as the current mudroom built-in! What do you think? Should I keep the pink door or is it time to move on?

Benjamin Moore Cheating Heart

Such a close relative of Wrought Iron! If Wrought Iron pulls gray, then Cheating Heart is the blue version. A super dark navy that can look gray in some light, it is the perfect color in our living room next to our navy sofa!

Benjamin Moore Shaker Gray

These are our closet doors in our bedroom, and I just love the paneling and the sereneness of this color! I am thinking about bringing this color downstairs to the sunroom. Just wait until you see the wallpaper I am looking at for the ceiling in there! It's PERFECT!!
