I agree completely - and white accents really pop. I love these photos.

Does country living state what color paint that is? Thanks.

Really nice in pictures, but I have to think that it also is probably really dark at times. Real life is so different than a picture... I love dark colors but they tend towards gloomy in low light conditions.

To Anon: here is the link to all the images http://www.countryliving.com/homes/house-tours/country-cottage-1109

I did not see a source for the paint, but in image 18 is says Ralph Lauren's Mercer paint. Hope that helps!

That wall color is amazing! It's so rich and satiny that it looks like actual melted chocolate!
