Welcome to the new series!! This is the series to share on social media and blog. What is a series? Now let’s rewind a little. One of the most frequently asked questions is about the paint color of the furniture around the farm. problem? Most of the pieces are antique pieces that we have not painted. In this series, we try to color match pieces around our farm, create custom colors, find similar paint colors, and bring you the best antique paint colors to use in our cozy cottage farmhouse. . For the second part of the series (hopefully more parts) we go to another color favorite in our house, an antique Mora clock purchased from White & Faded in the UK a few years ago.

I don’t know how many people know this, but if you’re color matching, you can lighten or darken the colors in your custom colors to take it another step. If you have a different color, we typically first ask for samples of a 25% lighter and 25% darker variation of the original color. It seems like the most subtle tweak, but it makes a big difference in the end result and I’d like to explore all options. Because each room has a different cast and a different color representation, there is a custom color match of Mora clock painted on kitchen cabinets, library built-ins, window he trim, baseboards and faux beams.
These are the custom colors we came up with to bring this cozy color into your home:
