Mouldings: Crunch Time!!

Time to make a decision about crown mouldings for the living room.

This is our favorite of what we've found online:

But there is no source information. This is obviously made up of at least 3 separate pieces: top, middle and bottom. What i like most about it is that the curved middle section doesn't just curve back to the wall - it swoops back out away from the wall. Unfortunately, we cannot find the swoopy middle part.

So, based on this photo, our architect prepared the following two options which combine crown mouldings readily available from Garden State Lumber.

Option 1. Parlor Floor larger crown moulding, constructed of (3) separate pieces:

CB312

DCR734

WM445

Option 2. Typical crown moulding, constructed of (2) separate pieces, smaller than the large moulding at the parlor, this option uses the same top trim WM445 to provide a relationship to the parlor:

PLC634

WM445

Also shown in these renderings are the following baseboard configurations:

Taller Base for parlor:

PLB9

DCB714

Shorter Base at typical floors:

BB518

PLB8416

The baseboards look pretty short in these pics, so I'm not sure what I'm seeing. Hard to tell.

Powder Room - Which Wall Color?

First, some inspo pictures:

As you see, limewash makes the most sense as a kind of dusty elegant off-color. But the way the paint is made and applied means it reflects light in a really soft, rich, vibrant way, kind of like suede.

My vote: Prun! 2nd choice: Artichoke

Dusk is a pale brown pink with the tone showing more pink on the wall than the Colour Card

Donkey is a warm brown mauve colour

Silky Oak is a pink based warm pale brown colour

Muscat is a dark mauve pink

Sedum is a mauve pink colour from our range of limewash paints. It has a mauve pink undertone, which is more apparent on the wall once applied.

Artichoke is a mauve purple tone from Bauwerk Colours range of purple limewash paints. The purple in this colour will pop on the wall more that in appears on the Colour Card

Dusty is a moody brown aubergine limewash paint colour with the tone showing more purple on the wall than the Colour Card

Prun is a deep dark purple tone from our range of eco-friendly natural limewash paint colours. The purple tone will pop on the wall.

Mulberry is a clear deep purple limewash paint colour - just like the fruit - for lovers of intense colour. This purple tones in this colour can pop on the wall
