 Benjamin Moore's Colour of the year for 2022 - October Mist It's always exciting seeing what the big paint companies forecast for the coming year! Well wait for it, drum roll please...… here it is... October Mist CC550, Benjamin Moore's Color of the year for 2022!  October Mist CC 550 / 1495 As people are turning towards more earth friendly products & manufacturers are creating more and more sustainable items, I think this colour is right on with the times. Just look at how many people purchased plants at the start of the pandemic! Bamboo furniture is hot, sustainable, strong & beautiful.  Benjamin Moore's Paint Color palette for 2022 Here's a better photo of October Mist CC 550 in a bedroom, paired with their soft lilac bedding, similar to Hint of Violet 2114-60. I must say, I'm still a little hesitant specifying it to my clients as we still strongly remember what was hot 15 years ago.
A few of the colours I am fond of from their 2022 collection are: a yummy dark ivory (almost beige) called Collectors item, , a dark Navy blue called Mysterious (love that name) and a softer, pretty, green blue called Smoky green. I think they all look lovely together.
I hear from High Point Market in North Carolina, that beiges are back - not sure how I feel about that! So, tell me, are you a fan of these 'new' 2022 colors by Benjamin Moore? I'd love to hear!

I was so happy to be featured in Home Trends magazine, featuring a client's kitchen renovation.  We ended up having to remove a wall that was dividing the old dining room from the kitchen. The fireplace was too close to the table, due to the tiny room. I also opened up the hallway by removing that wall. Wow, what a difference that made!  Before kitchen Here's the old dining room - see how tiny it was? The room got waaay to hot with the fireplace on! This is the same fireplace that we used in the above photo, I just removed the mantle and reclad it in an aged brick to add to the farmhouse look.  Before - old kitchen After our discussions, I showed my client the suggested material samples, hired a contractor, then we went to work!  I then created a mood board to keep everything in mind. I used my 15 point check list to ensure I didn't miss a thing. Flooring, check. Lighting, check, Contractor hired, check...  Kitchen completed! Jil Sonia McDonald of Jil Sonia Interiors.
