For the last couple of days, there's been a problem with uploading images for some people. Try again later.

Prime the walls in plain white to avoid any color reflections from old paint. Install new light fixtures with new bulbs, or put new bulbs (of the type you'll be using in teh next fixtures) in old fixtures. Warm white LEDs are a good choice for most situations.

Coordinate with the flooring color first, beams second. Match paint chips to each, tape them on an index card, then go back to the paint store. Buy a fan deck to save time, along with samples and foamcore boards. Use the same color for walls and cabinets, but a different sheen for cabinets and trim, for a coordinated look.

We use Eider White on cabinets/trim. Consider painting walls the same color. We use Repose Gray a lot on walls, but it's definitely a light gray.

Thank you!!
