Dear Chicago House,
Remember how everyone of your walls was brown, beige, taupe, fawn yuk, yuk yukity yuk? Well “brown makes me frown” and it is fast becoming distant memory. You have a new color palette and as I have had quite a few requests as to the colors I have used, here we go. This is the easy going, relaxing color palette of your ground floor.
In the dining room I have used Behr Maiden Voyage and Benjamin Moore mayonnaise
In the Family Room I slapped on a couple of coats of Behr Relaxing Green
Then in the living room I selected a shade darker than the relaxing green and used Behr Herbal Mist
The sun room (which in fact was the only room that wasn’t brown) got freshened up with the lovely Mayonnaise by Benjamin Moore
And my latest paint project is my office which has come to life with Behr Aqua Breeze
The only room not pictured is the kitchen, which, while beautifully done with cherry cabinets ,is so NOT my cup of tea. I’d love to paint them but am terrified I’d ruin them forever!
Which one do you like best?
Love from

Love your color choices, they're so similar to mine (:
Hey, you left a comment on my blog the other day and I tried to write you back but you're a no-reply blogger which means people can't directly email you back when you leave a comment.
If you want to change it, there are lots of tut's online, just an fyi (:

The herbal mist is totally my favorite…not sure I could use a color called mayonaisse…but it does look good.
Much better than frowny brown.
Oh my god I am a no repy blogger…what a moron…I should know better! All fixed now thank for the tip off
yes much better than frowny browny!
I like the mayo – what a strange name – lol!
ha I know what you mean. I can imagine if it is your job to think up paint names things get a bit desperate sometimes and you have to resort to food!
I can see resorting to food names for paint … but mayonnaise? Love your color palette …
🙂

I am about to do my great room in BM's Mayonnaise or Vanilla Ice Cream and love how bright and warm your sun room came out. I also love the Herbal Mist room, how crisp and cozy that red leather couch looks with those pillows. You did a very nice job.
Thanks so much!
