WFMW- Silver Sage Restoration Hardware Paint!

This Works for me Wednesday I’m revealing my greatest paint secret. One I’m repetitively asked! I know, It’s not a huge secret, but people do often ask, and I’m more than happy to tell! I have never been one of those girls that cared if her friend shopped at her favorite shop or bought the same shoes. I see imitation as the greatest form of flattery so PLEASE everyone go paint your homes the same colors. I’ll feel great about myself

I heart the paint color Silver Sage from Restoration Hardware! Every time I would walk into the store I loved the way I felt. The quality, the warmth, it also felt relaxing, soothing. It took me a while to realize they actually sold the color in the store. One day I noticed and began obsessing on whether or not it would work in my house… then I met my neighbor across the street.

When I walked into her home I got that “Restoration Hardware” feeling. I looked around and the furniture did not look familiar.

What was it?

The paint?

Was I really seeing the paint I had been obsessing on so long?

My neighbor confirmed it.

Not much later we sold our house and moved back to my hometown. When we closed on our house the first thing I did was schedule painters. And of course I chose all restoration hardware colors.

Main Color: Silver Sage
Accents in Main Room: Dark Silver Sage
Master: Latte
Master Bathroom: Flax
Dining Room: Mixture of Silver Sage, Dark silver Sage, and Sea Green, Striped and faux finished.
O’s Room: Atmosphere Blue
Lu’s Room + Guest Room: Sycamore Green

I did the same thing! Except in my new house I put the silver sage in the master and latte as the main color. I had always decorated the master in really dark jewel toned colors, but then I realized that I wanted that fresh, warm feeling in my bedroom. The nice thing about silver sage is just about anything looks good with it.

Thanks for sharing pictures of your house!

BTW, for Pottery Barn colors, you can find them available via Benjamin Moore (which is available through independent paint stores and some ace hardware.)

I Love that color Silver Sage as well, I painted my guest bath with it, and used Atmosphere blue for my dining room, all with the white accent. my next job is our bonus room with silver sage and white.Love it can’t get enough of it….

We are currently painting our second bathroom in Silver Sage. We are quite experienced painters and my husband is HATING this paint. It does not seem to want to stick to the walls (previously painted in eggshell). Has anyone else experienced this problem? We love the color, though!

Ok, I have been reading about this paint and the pictures of your home are lovely, but… where can we buy this paint? Thanks, Janet
