This week was painting week for us and the paint colors didn’t exactly go as planned, but in home renovation isn’t that usually the case! If you remember, the Chinese Porcelain color from PPG Paints is my inspiration for our room. So with such a rich wall color, I wanted a neutral for the ceiling. I chose Alpaca. It’s a beautiful warm grey from Sherwin Williams and I have used it in other rooms in our home. I thought it would be the perfect paint color for the dining…
