All trim in the house is color-matched to Christopher Peacock "Scullery White". Including our kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities.
The biggest impact is Christopher Peacock Paint "Carbon". We used it in the living room, dining room, master bedroom, and the office. I'm including images from multiple rooms with the same color so you can see how it reads in different lights.
Next, we used Christopher Peacock "Cadogen Grey" in the entry, gallery, kitchen, and upstairs loft.
So is the pantry. It always makes me smile. And the inside of the coat closets, but I don't have any pictures of those yet.
The mudroom and guest room are BM "Kendall Charcoal". This is as close as I could get to a color match from the CP "Carbon" working off of a standard color, but it reads more brown than the other rooms.
The powder room, laundry room and linen closet are BM Wedgewood Grey
The playroom, gym, master bath, master closet, and guest bath are BM "Wickham Grey"
Nursery is BM "Barely Teal"
Little Boys room is BM "Marlboro Blue"
Little Girl's butterfly bedroom is BM "Potpurri Green"
Kid bath is BM "Harbor Fog"
The exterior of my house is cedar shingles (fire-treated), with Black trim and BM "Taos Taupe" on the stucco chimneys.

Beautiful paint colors. Love how the whole house looks so good with a coordinating color palette. I wish my house were that clean to take pictures of every room. One of these days, right?
Love the colors in your house! I found your blog through Emily's yesterday :) You have a beautiful home!
Your house is stunning! Always so fun to find another design blog in the Bay!

Your house makes me weep with happiness. I love each and every room. I just pinned your kitchen, I love the grey you used in the kitchen.
Fabulous... You must love waking up there every day. :)
This is beautiful, it was so fun having a tour of your home!
Jessica, I love the CP carbon, what a wonderfully saturated color with depth and still reads soft on the eye. I would totally recommend this color if I were still consulting. Love it,
Kathysue
love your color choices!
your home is gorgeous!
I love the colors you chose for you home. Your home is beautiful!
I'm tired now, I feel like I just painted a whole house. Hope I got the right colors on the right walls.

Your paint colors are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!!
Amazing how the Carbon color reads so differently with lighting changes and I find each iteration to be elegant, calm and rich looking with a "polite and not in your face" drama factor. I smiled too with the Tropicana Cabana color ... have a very similar color in my house and you can't be sullen in that room! Lovely home Jessica and I enjoyed the peaks into rooms we haven't yet seen ... more please :)

Wow-you have a gorgeous house! All the colors look so fresh and serene.
Great colors - so Bayish. I really like my room, I mean, the guest room. Thanks for linking up at this week's Show & Tell.
Beautiful Home!!!
What a gorgeous home! Love that carbon color.
Hi Jessica,
I love following your blog!
I grew up in the Bay Area, and now live in Vancouver, B.C.
I like beach cottage style, and am now remodeling a 1923 house.
Thanks for posting your beautiful paint colors.
I'm planning a white kitchen, and was going to do BM Cloud White walls, but I like your contrast.
Have you done a post on what not to forget in a remodel?
Thanks!
I love, love, love the living and dining room color. However, when I go on the Christopher Peacock website the color Carbon appears to be a very dark gray. Whereas, the color Carbonite seems to be a better match. Could the color be wrong? I would love to use the same color in my dining room, so just trying to get a good match. Thanks
sorry, I meant to say the color Coniston from Christopher Peacock (not Carbonite).
The blues are nice and I see that you are going for a monochromatic theme, but in design theory, you need to follow the 60-30-10 design rule: 60% dominant color, 30% secondary, and 10% accent.
Translated to a room setting, it typically means:
60% of the room's color is the walls
30% of the room's color is the upholstery
10% of the room's color is, say, an accent piece or a floral arrangement
Your theme seems more 80-10-10. You need more contrast. I couldn't imagine living in all that blue overload. The living room seems to be the only room that provides contast. The rest just seems to be ... blue.
That flag should be hung either on a pole or to lay flat against the house, not like it was just thrown over a railing. It looks too informal to be hanging an American flag that way.
