Of the 10 best selling yellowsthat Benjamin Moore sells…only one, Hawthorne Yellow uses the word I learned a valuable lesson …and that was that MOST TIMELESS interior YELLOWS ….are actually… …but no, OUR HALLWAY was like the inside of a lemon. We are not talking a deep rich gorgeous yellow like the beautiful MONTICELLO CHROME YELLOW which I adore….

Unfortunately I walked in and was slapped in the face with a LEMON……It was so bright I needed sunglasses (maybe I am exaggerating a tad). I could not wait to come home and see the beautiful hallway inspired by this English Countryside Inn.

I was so certain it was perfect that I did not even feel the need to put a tester swatch on the wall (BIG. The color was called…”Yellow” something…maybe “Spring YELLOW”, I can’t remember….I wanted a nice light creamy yellow and that is how it looked on the card. I wanted to brighten the main hallways and chose a pale yellow. Our very first home was a sweet small brick home, with low ceilings and little light in the hallways.

I am feeling the hint of Spring in the air…and just waiting for the first yellow forsythia to bloom.
