So I haven’t picked up a paint brush in a few months, and I’m getting the itch.  So, which room will get hit first?  Hhmmm……I’m thinking……dining room. I have been toying with the idea of painting it navy blue for a few years… and yes, that is procrastination at it’s finest.

I have always been a navy lover, just ask my 20+ year old navy living room sofa.  So it’s a natural progression to paint the dining room a navy, since both rooms are open to each other.  Here’s a couple of the contenders.

Benjamin Moore’s Hale Navy HC-154

Farrow & Ball – Stiff Key Blue

Benjamin Moore’s Van Deusen Blue HC-156

Benjamin Moore’s Evening Dove 2128-30

Benjamin Moore’s Stunning – 826

All are dark, moody and would be spectacularly gorgeous with a gleaming gold light fixture.  Some are a lot darker than they appear, at least on my screen.  So, there will be some wall tests, for sure.  Then I suppose, I will need to get new dining chairs, drapery and artwork, you know how things snowball when you start painting.  I can certainly see where this is going……

So which is your favourite and I’d love to hear from you if you’ve painted navy recently. You can check out my Navy Dining Room Pinterest board by clicking here.

Have a great weekend!
