Designer Angela Free used four different shades of Benjamin Moore white paint in this living room: Spanish White on the inner wall molding; White Dove on the outer wall molding; White Opulence on the molding and crown trim; and Sand Dollar on the ceiling. Free describes this latter color as a "a very pale rosy white"; she painted it in high gloss to create "a soft reflective glow." Decorative artist Katherine Jacobus painted a subtle faux linen effect on all the molding to give it a sense of depth and dimension.
Free writes: "My objective with this room was to create a sense of light, calm, and livable comfort -- an intimacy and a juxtaposition of soft colors popped with contrasts. Richness and depth in fabrics and window treatments are minimized to allow as much light as possible to enter the space."
