    What white color did you use on the ceilings ‽

      We just left the ceiling the same white color that was on it when we moved in. Unfortunately, the previous owners didn’t leave any paint, so we don’t know what color it is. Any white color that you like will work just fine. They even make paint especially for ceilings that is thicker so it doesn’t drip as you apply it. Good luck!

    I have repose gray in my home but it’s the flat color. Do you know if the satin finish changed the color a bit from flat to satin. The emerald-interior-acrylic-latex-paint is the brand on the walls in repose gray right?

      I have never used the flat paint, but my guess is that even if the color is the same, the reflection of light on a satin finish may make it appear to be a different color. And yes, I did use the emerald interior paint. 🙂

    I just painted all of our rooms in our home Repose Gray! Love it! I also re-did all wood work and kitchen cabinets white! It definitely brightens everything up making it fresh! We are on the next step to re-do flooring. I love how your flooring isn’t too dark but still goes well w/ your walls. Do you know the color?? Thanks!! Your house looks great!! 🙂

      Hooray for Repose Gray! I have actually since painted my cabinets (uppers white, lowers dark gray). I love it even more now. I love my flooring, but unfortunately I can’t remember what it’s called. Just checked our extra planks out in the garage, and they aren’t labeled. Sorry. 🙁

    I’m looking at repose gray and agreeable gray for my entire house. They both look amazing. My daughter painted 25% repose gray in her room she loves it. To me it looks like it has a little blue undertone. Do you see any blue undertones in your house in different lighting?

      With the lighting at my house, I don’t see any blue undertones, they tend to be more on the warm side. But it does totally depend on your space.

    I am looking to use Repose Grey in our bedrooms. We painted our Hallway in Classic Silver by Behr, a fairly dark silver. Would this work?

    I am considering painting the home I am about to purchase Repose Gray. I like the color but my only concern is the house does not have a lot of natural light. Would this color still be a good choice?

    Love the repose gray in your kitchen. Our lake house has Oak cabinets and white beadboard backsplash green/ gray tones on laminate countertops with white beadboard base for the island. I like my Oak as the woodwork goes throughout our home. It feels warm to me. Will repose gray work here? We also have 3 story vaulted ceiling. Wondering about color there. Same Berber white gray carpet throughout.

      I haven’t seen it with oak cabinets, but I think it’s such a great neutral gray that it would look good with just about anything! I recommend buying a sample and giving it a try. 🙂

    Hi what kind of white did you paint your kitchen cabinets? What countertop did you select I.e color, and type (quartz etc…) paint looks amazing.

      I haven’t painted the cabinets yet – hopefully soon! We got a quartz countertop from a local company. I can’t even remember what it’s called, but I really do love it!

      I just use Behr bright white straight out of the can. I like to use semi-gloss for my trim because it’s very scrubbable, but satin works great as well.

    No undertone Colors with Repose Gray? Like blue, green, purple or beige? That’s what I’m worried about with grays, I’m considering this gray and hoping it’s a true neutral gray with no colour surprises when it’s dark out, fingers crossed, I’m hoping to know before I buy it tomorrow 🙂 your place looks amazing btw

      Sorry, I just saw this. If it had an undertone, it would be more beige, but only in certain lighting. Most of the time at my house it just looks gray. I hope you’ve already painted and are loving it at your house as well!

    I look forward to seeing your update! Your house looks so nice it has inspired me to paint Repose throughout my whole house! I’ painting my oak trim white. I’m waiting on the kitchen cabinets as that is such a big project. But I will probably do white. I like your idea of white and dark gray! I don’t have an island so not sure if I want all white or lowers maybe gray? Can’t wait to see your cabinets once you get to them.

      Thanks so much Melissa! I hope you love the Repose gray as much as I have. Even if you don’t have an island, white upper cabinets and gray lowers still looks fantastic. I cannot wait to get mine finished!

        What color of gray are you using for lower cabinets? Or what color would you recommend? With the uppers in white and the rest of the room in the repose gray?

    What color will you paint your cabinets? I’m painting my house repose gray right now. In the future I will need to paint my oak kitchen cabinets. Would love to see your plans for your cabinets and countertop.

      I am planning on painting my cabinets white, and my island a dark gray. I was hoping to have it finished by now, but that’s just life for ya! We do have a new countertop and backsplash, and I am loving those. As soon as we replace the outlet covers, I’ll share the update. 🙂

    Can anyone recommend a complimentary darker gray color for my cabinets for an open great room ( kitchen/living/dining) that is paint response great. Current cabinets are yellow birch and not complimentary. I could go white line trim an baseboards but would like to explore the options. Thank you.

    Didn’t you happen to lighten them repose gray by chance ? I swatched this color and it looked way darker . THanks

      No, I did not have them lighten it. It looks lighter on my walls than it did on the swatch. It goes on darker as well, but lightens as it dries. My friend actually used a shade darker, and hers still doesn’t look too dark. Hope that helps!

      We used Mannington vinyl planks, and it is my favorite flooring ever! The color we used is called Seaport Surf.
