I still love this color wall – Benjamin Moore Crown Point Sand which is kind of tan, kind of greenish – but I plan to go with something a tad whiter since there is less natural light in the new space. Although now that the room is completely plastered, it actually looks pretty bright up there. Even so, I have been seeing so many great all-white rooms in both design magazines and on the web that I would love to have one in our home as well.<br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1U0xTnCyplDH4n5SFVcqBYiUqPIuotOpJ74N5aQXY31EADL2YAgpivar14ENms84me8FdgU11itLzgAIHjw9xKk695fwxdYmwX1u6SgshSpKUil-HbM7X3ulUfQ2BEryk7dLF76XLRwI/s1600-h/samplesBR.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429552366272357266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1U0xTnCyplDH4n5SFVcqBYiUqPIuotOpJ74N5aQXY31EADL2YAgpivar14ENms84me8FdgU11itLzgAIHjw9xKk695fwxdYmwX1u6SgshSpKUil-HbM7X3ulUfQ2BEryk7dLF76XLRwI/s400/samplesBR.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />My top color choice right now is Benjamin Moore Marscarpone.
