Make your home glow with the color of sunshine!

Fill your home with soft, buttery tones and you’re guaranteed the same uplifting feeling you get when you wake up to the first rays of a sunny spring day!

Let there be light!

The more natural light in your room, the less intense your yellow paint should be. Designers love Benjamin Moore’s Hawthorne Yellow, a traditional Colonial color, and to make it modern, they pair it with crisp whites. To find the perfect hue for your room, paint five swatches of yellow and give it 48 hours. See how it looks in the day, night and on sunny and overcast days.

DIY facelift! Before investing in a pricey kitchen remodel, consider going rustic: Distress cabinets by removing hardware, sanding cabinets, cleaning, drying and applying an antique glaze. Let dry 24 hours and apply top coat.
