One thing to note is that the ceilings are the same as the wall colors throughout. This is a new technique we're seeing lately that really makes the woodwork stand out. I was afraid that going away from white ceiling would make the rooms feel smaller, but it actually has quite the opposite effect.

Gorgeous colours on the door and surround.
I just bought Wickham Gray last week ( 1 gallon) and looked on here SPECIFICALLY to see what color the playroom was! Yea!!! Hope that means I will like it once it finally makes it on the walls!

Thanks so much for sharing your paint colors, Shiloe! I've painted my interior walls and ceilings the same color as well and I really like the way it makes the white woodwork pop.
On a side note, I recently ran into a bit of a hiccup with paint that I thought I would share with other DIYers (I'm sure you pros all know this already!). Make sure you buy your paint from the same store per project. We have two Benjamin Moore's in the area; one is close to work and the other close to home. I recently went to the alternate store for a refill on my exterior paint and found out that each computer mixer can be slightly different the hard way, LOL. If you fall short on paint for a project, you can find yourself in a bind like I did if you frequent more than one retailer! :(
Nice choice of colours, good job.

What a gorgeous, gorgeous home! Such a great job..Have a lovely Sunday..Rachaelxx
Your paint work here is just beautiful! I'm in Oakland as well and love the older style Victorians and such. You really bring them back to life.
Great work. :)

i OFFICIALLY want a green front door.. TOOOOO cute!
I love all the colors in your house (and must have similar taste because I often end up at this post when I'm searching for info about a particular color, in this case Arctic Gray), but your exterior colors make me swoon. I'd do all of that in a heartbeat, especially the front door.
Seems to me that the white wall and ceiling gives nice effect inside the house. It's gives beauty and neatness on the house.
Hi, love the hardwood in the bedroom & child room! :-)
Is it available in HomeDepot? If it is what's the brand/model#
Hello! I'm new to your blog, and this house is beautiful! Thanks for sharing the paint colors, too.
Wonderful color and interior design combination. I love to see. Thanks for your creative job
SO sweet and well decorated house. I like the color and decoration.
awesome! it was really excellent work! thanks a lot for sharing..
very clean decoration and well furnished.
Gorgeous decors! Love it!
What color is your door? I may just copy!
I just want to tell you how much I love your blog and how extremely helpful it has been for me! We are turning a cute cottage into a two story home (just north of Seattle in an adorable coastal town) with a lot of the same features here. Thanks so much for being detailed with your information, color choices, etc. Beautiful job!
Wow! I really like your exterior design with the shingles, paint color, and all! I haven't thought that a lemon green door looks great against that kind of blue. Great work!
Thanks for sharing such a amazing post. Fabulous. Keep it up.
In the child's room you have the color as Benjamin Moore Wickham Gray. Is it wickham gray or woodland green? I painted my daughters room the wickham gray and it looks very dark. I thought I read in another area this room was woodland green. Could you please tell me what color you used. I love how the room looks!! Thank you Lilah
Hi Lilah,
The child's room is definitely Wickham Gray. We thought it looked dark too until the furniture went in. Good luck with your project!
I saw you in a magazine and loved it! Can you please tell me what color was used on the panels to the left and right of the door (with the little window at the top? The blue/gray color? Many thanks!
Hi Michelle,
The sidelites were color matched to the Hardie Shingles. Another reader who was not using Hardie, but want to get the exact color, ordered a sample of their shingles from their website, then took the paint sample to her local paint store for a color match. Great solution!
Shiloe
Shiloe,
Assuming you refinished the floors or laid new floors (white oak?) can you tell me what stain color and brand you used? And what sealant? Thanks.
I'm back again since we are now at the picking out paint stage of our build! I LOVE the painting the ceiling the same color as the walls technique and I'm surprised by how many people scoff at me when I bring it up. To save money, we are not putting crown moulding in every room and I'm wondering if you think this technique works just as well without crown. Did you use it in bathrooms, closets, etc.? Thanks so much!
Lovely decoration and also the color of the paints.
