The whole house is painted an off white - I think it's BM Swiss Coffee. We have not updated the paint since buying last summer. While I love having color on the wall, if I was choosing something different for my craft room I would go for a brighter white.

Pink, of course  It's more of a mauvy pink and I'd like to change it to a lighter brighter pink someday but honestly, the thought of moving everything away from the walls exhausts me.  Pink is also my favorite color. About 20 years ago there was a small specialty store in one of the end spaces of an upscale strip mall with two walls of floor to ceiling windows & the other two walls were painted Benjamin Moore Ribbon Pink 2087-60 with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace OC-65 trim. (Apparently so many customers had asked for the paint information, they had the brand/colors posted upon entry.) It was stunning! |

Mine is “inspired lilac” by sherwin Williams. Its funny, I don’t even particularly care for purple shades and was thinking of a yellow or pink as I love both those colors but at SW I just saw the color and it was true to its name “inspired” and I grabbed a sample and went home and painted and then went for it. It is newly painted. I am really enjoying it. It’s colorful and peaceful and fun without being loud.

... PaperAngel I am glad I don't have any desire to paint it because then I would have to decide on a color and i really don't want to. ... I can relate, since I too find choosing a paint color daunting, given the number of shades of any given color (even if focusing on just one paint manufacturer)! |

Thanks for your responses. Like many of you, my craft room walls are an off-white/ultra-light grey as a background to black furniture, except for a wheat-stained project table & a white slipcovered oversized chair & ottoman, & colorful supplies.

I've been in my new home for 1.5 years. Before moving my DH was with me in Walmart and we saw paint on sale. There was a $5 can with a lavender dry spot on top. Glossy sheen. My DH mentioned on what a great price it was and to bad no one would want it. I picked it up and said, I do. First room painted when we moved in too.  I've never been able to personalize my crafting area before because I never had my own room for it. Got a L-shaped desk so the short end I could video game on and the long end to craft on. So nice to just because to close that door and relax. |
