my favorite paint colors: monroe bisque

Before we talk paint, I need to say Happy Birthday to my mom!

She is an amazing woman and what I hope to be someday. I'm always asking myself "what would mom do??" Montana is a long way from Texas, and I miss her a ton. I hope you have the best day, Shuz! I love this picture of you and Landon, spit up and all!

Welcome to Day 2 of "My Favorite Paint Color" week! I wanted to share a great go-to paint color with you:

Benjamin Moore Monroe Bisque
Isn't the name even lovely? I would describe it as a neutral beige, with a bit of golden/yellow undertones. I first saw it in a Parade of Homes, it was in the finalist category for my family room, and I still love it and keep it in my inspiration notebook. I have noticed that Stephen Saint-Onge
loves it as well and has used it for at least 3 of his room makeovers in Better Homes and Gardens.

Here he used it in a family room:

Here are some more random photos of monroe bisque I found on the internet that I thought I'd share:
( I don't know the original sources of these pics since some have been in my inspiration folder for awhile, but if one is yours, please let me know and I'll give you credit!)

Notice how different in can look in various rooms and light..be sure to get a tester before you commit to gallons to see if you'll love it in your room(s), but it's a great color. You can go to Benjamin Moore to see if have a store near you, but most stores like Lowes, Home Depot, and Walmart have BM colors in their computers, so that's another option as well . Getting excited for Thursday...


thanks for letting me share a favorite. More coming tomorrow...
