You are here: Experts > Style > Interior Decorating > Painting & Wallpapering > paint for a vintage spanish house
Expert: Rebecca Bushner - 10/10/2009
Question
I have a 1928 Spanish house with original dark wood mouldings and stenciled beams in the ceilings. I am looking for a beautiful warm white that I can paint all of the walls to allow the furnishings to pop. I have a number of burled walnut pieces from the 1920's and a red based antique sarouk rug. In my previous house, I used "Carved Ivory" by Dunn Edwards and loved it, but in my new house the light is mostly northern and it makes the Carved Ivory look too yellow and heavy. I tried lightening the formula to 75% but then it took on pink undertones.I tried Birch White but it feels too green. Any ideas for a creamy vintage warm white that wont look too dirty and dull in my north facing house? Thanks
Answer
Hi Brain
Unfortunately, I can't find "Carved Ivory" in my Dunn Edwards fan deck. Maybe it's a discontinued color?
However, here are some other Dunn Edwards colors to look at:
French White DEW311
Finest Silk DE 6127
Antique Linen DE 6148
Jakarta DEC 737
I hope this helps Brian!
Good luck,
reb
