The article discusses the author's personal journey in choosing a paint color for their powder room. Initially hesitant, the author explores various colors before discovering 'Chinchilla' by Sherwin-Williams, a modern brown that brings warmth and character to the room. This unique shade, which has undertones of purple, dramatically alters the ambiance by enhancing the vintage landscape paintings it was meant to complement. Ultimately, the author found that not only did the color transform the space, but it also contributed to a faster home sale after deciding to sell their house despite their love for the new color.
As it turns out, I only needed to grab one. The moment I saw Chinchilla by Sherwin-Williams, I knew it was exactly the hue I had been looking for.
Truthfully, I didn't even buy a sample can to try it before buying (typically a big no-no, I realize); I just dove right into the dark side, and I'm so glad I did.
This color is definitely as 'moody' as I've ever gone in my home, but the payoff was big - it made our petite powder room feel like it had the prominence and personality it was missing before.
Ironically, shortly after falling in love with this color and coating the walls, we decided to put our house on the market after finding our dream home.
