Duv310660 on Feb 20, 2015I love experimenting with paint, but there is a balance to achieve with other materials - if everything is painted, it looks more like a store for painted furnishings than decorated room. My favourite colours with cream are a mid greeny-grey "linen" or "sage' (like ascp's linen) for keeping things light; or a darker bluish-grey (like ascp's graphite). Either of these could be used as a semi-opaque wash on bare wood to minimize the contrast of the knotholes, but still looking like an antique, natural wood surface for those reasons that I started out with!Helpful Reply
