My hallway is north facing and has little natural light coming in. The configuration of our house means there is no upstairs window off the landing. The only constant natural light has to come through a porch door and front door stained glass window. Two years ago I was so averse to magnolia or any buttermilk/yellowy shades that I hunted for a greige shade and painted it Egyptian Cotton. I've hated it since day one and now winter is here, I am reminded just how horrible it makes me feel each time I enter the house. It looks like drying concrete. It's sludgy and dull.
I'm ready to tackle it again and want to get it right this time. I'm looking for a warm white, a fresh bright shade that sings joy to me each time I come through my front door, even when it is winter.
Help.
