Rarified Air and Eleanor Cummings


Rarified Air
 
 
 
In May's House Beautiful, Houston Interior Designer Eleanor Cummings recommends Sherwin Williams Rarified Air (SW6525) as her go-to 'tranquil' color.

Not entirely a bad thing - just know going in that Rarified Air has major blue undertones. Eleanor says that Rarified Air is "not that sweet blue, but a sophisticated blue."

Still, I have to think that the lady who puts these rooms together has to know what she's talking about:

this is one brilliant decorator! YIKES!!

I seldom say that!!\The thing about colors......is that you have to "test" them IN THE HOUSE!!

Then you can see what they look like with the "light"; the "exposure" !!!

Lots of things that most people think are "simple"!

Not simple. Not.

Love these rooms, such beautiful tones. Each room seems so serene and 'perfectly' styled, with the use of golds and elaborate carved furniture really adding warmth and texture.
