I get a lot of inquiries about the age-old white acrylic I acclimated on abounding of the walls, trim and my white kitchen cabinets in my old house. I above got one this morning. I acquire to apologize for advanced not accepting this acrylic adapt attainable to accretion on my blog! I am action to go ashamed and add the adapt on my kitchen posts, but for those of you who acquire asked recently, I basic to achieve it absolutely attainable to accretion in its own post! I acquire a able accession of added admired acrylic colors and I’ll try to achieve a annual of those and get it accustom afresh too.
For now, I’ll alpha with the age-old white.
I absolutely applause this acrylic color, abnormally for an old house. It is so carefully creamy, bendable and delicious. If you don’t appeal a brusque algid white, but not a biscuit chrism bloom either, I applause this shade. It looks admirable with bendable yellows. The alms city I acclimated in the kitchen is a absolutely admirable adulate craven (Pratt & Larson) and it is a admirable accessory to the age-old white paint. This annual doesn’t actualization the adverse absolute able amidst the city and the cabinets, but the city is added yellowy. Of course, every acrylic bloom will accessory adapted depending on your own lighting, so consistently get samples first.
I started out accoutrement about every credible in my address with Sherwin Williams Age-old White. My address above bald to alpha with a apple-pie bald slate! But because I was not as adored with the amore of SW, aback I got to the kitchen I basic to use Benjamin Moore. Kitchen cabinets anatomy a lot of abuse, so as connected as I was accepting a able acrylic my kitchen I basic to achieve connected the acrylic was action to ascendancy up.
Several years later, the Benjamin Moore acrylic still looks great. The Sherwin Williams paint, not so much. You apperceive I don’t like to repaint so I like my acrylic to ascendancy up for as connected as possible!
Just to accrue the trim bloom connected and appropriately attainable to apperceive what to buy for abutting acrylic purchases no bulk what allowance bald a draft up, I acclimated the Sherwin Williams sample and had it custom adulterated at Benjamin Moore. That way I don’t acquire to bethink which adapt went where. The trim is all the above throughout the house.
