      I like to use the same white as the walls if I am leaning towards white trim.

    Although I have not tried this, I am told that Sherwin Williams is able to tint your trim paint with 1/2 of the tint in regular Alabaster and it looks amazing. Same color, only brighter!

    Hi Linda.

    In your opinion, could I use SW alabaster in a kitchen next to SW pure white cabinets and trim? I’m afraid if I do pure white on walls with different sheen that it will look sterile. I’m trying to stay away from Greys. Thanks in advance!

      Hi Kelly! That is a very good question. If I want white walls and cabinets I go with the same white and the same sheen. What is your cabinet sheen? If it is satin I would do the same color in satin. I hope this helps!

    Love this post. What color would you suggest for a trim color and door color (exterior is being is being painted Alabaster) *leaning towards Wythe blue from BM for door, but open for suggestions with turquoise hint
    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

      Good questions! If I was painting my house Alabaster I would do the trim the same color. For the door, I think Wythe Blue would be beautiful if you go with all white trim. My door is Wythe Blue but I had it mixed at Sherwin Williams. It is a little less bright as it appears in the photos on my blog. Here is a post where you can see a photo of my door on the front porch. https://lifeonsummerhill.com/wheat-wreath-diy/

      But black windows look fabulous on an all-white house too. If I was painting my windows black I would consider a soft black like Iron Ore or Peppercorn. If I painted my windows black I would do the door the same color or a lighter tone stain. My friend Jenny on Instagram has a white house with black windows. Here is an example of her house. https://www.instagram.com/p/CAnF6QeH-s7/

      I hope this helps! Good luck!

    Hi,

    We are leaning towards alabaster for walls in basement. What color would you do a barn door? Our floors will be rustic brown. Thank you!

      The first thought that came to mind is a black color like Peppercorn or Iron ore but if you are trying to brighten up your basement I would go with Alabaster.

    I’ve been researching Alabaster in anticipation of a kitchen Reno which would I Clyde painting our cabinetry….
    Do you think Alabaster cabinetry pairs well with Ceasarstone Statuario Nuova quarts countertops…. or perhaps Calacatta Gold (Eternal)?
    Thanks… love your pics!!!

      I am not familiar with the countertop but Alabaster is a great white that matches just about everything. When I am planning a space I look for rooms with the colors I am considering. Try looking up white kitchen cabinets and the countertop name. This will help you see how it will look in your home. I hope this helps!
