An interesting paint job on an office building in the Junction neighbourhood. Built in 1968, it was the former headquarters of Benjamin Moore paints. Their first paint manufacturing plant in Canada was purchased in 1907 and was located across the street from here. The plant was operational until 2001 after which manufacturing was centralized at the Burlington and Montreal plants and the Toronto plant was demolished in 2007.
One gallon paint can and lid that has been sitting in the garage for about 15 years. Plenty of patina, rust, dust and other bits that fall from the workbench onto the paint cans! Last week the dust was the enemy but this week the dust makes the shot. The title is the Benjamin Moore color and formulation but it's basically a light yellow, I may have gotten carried away with that. The color and structure have been dialed up a bit to bring out the cool blue and red in the lid. The diagonal measured out at app. 1 1/8 inch.
55mm Micro NIKKOR f/2.8 w/PK-12 & PK-13 Extension Tubes (41.5 mm)
Julianna still sleeps in our room, but eventually she'll move into this room. For now, it's where she plays. The green is a lot more subdued at night when the lamps are on.
I've entered this room into www.ohdeedoh.com's nursery colors contest: Julianna's Rainbow Room.
i love this color. it's called jalapeno green.
j & i meant to have it as an accent on a couple of walls in the living area. turned out, the painter "misunderstood" the instructions and went splashing it all over the place, this kitchen wall included. now i have no choice but to love it even more! haha!!! (thank god he spared the upstairs bedrooms and baths!)
it does grow on you after a while...like green vines do!

This bedroom could be in Phoenix and it would still look cool and beachy. Just so happens, though, it's in the Hamptons. Sigh.
Designer/homeowner Leslie Klotz took a cool dip of color and a bright splash of pattern and turned an attic-like space into a lofty and restful haven. Walls are painted Spring Mint and trim is Light Touch, both by Benjamin Moore. She found the quilt at a Brimfield summer antiques show and the accent pillow in Venice. The lamp is by Christopher Spitzmiller. (J'adore le Spitzmiller gourd! Just like every decorator in this country.)

Spent several hours yesterday painting this bedroom teal, and today I did the trim, and moved furniture back. I am waiting for some fabric I ordered for curtains and cover for chair, and need to hang art and buy a zebra rug.

Architect Jeffery Povero maximized space in his 860-square-foot New York apartment with architectural custom shelving, which provides neatly efficient storage. He also used opposing paint colors to make the space seem larger: Benjamin Moore’s Iron Mountain (on walls) and white (in recesses) help the dark color dematerialize at the edges. Bedspread from ABC Carpet and Home.

Isn't this kitchen fabulous? I love complementary colors, especially gradations of red and green.
It's the Crown Heights, Brooklyn home of couple Jordan Provost (a photographer and letterpress printer) and Jason Wong (a graphic designer) of letterpress enormous champion.
Wall color is Sweet Caroline by Benjamin Moore. Cabinets and counter tops are from Ikea. In the bottom left of the photo is a coal safe, a pre-war detail that the couple loves. (They now use it for gardening supplies.). The insulated coffee pot was found in a flea market in Germany.

In his Los Angeles bungalow, interior designer Moises Esquenazi used big color in a small space: he painted his guest room Benjamin Moore's Newburg Green, a lush deep teal that plays off the hot, tropical-hued fabrics of the throw pillows. A silver-leafed wooden deer head gives the room a "sprinkling of out-there embellishment."

I know you're absolutely swamped with work, Aaron darling, so I won't disturb you. Just sit in your vintage Arne Jacobsen Swan chair with its original leather and I'll bring you your hot cocoa in an hour.

This is another image from Dunnville, Ontario. This is the back wall of the Benjamin Moore store located at 142 Queen Street. The view is as seen from the parking lot behind the row of stores in which this particular store is located. The mural depicts a view (presumably) of the Grand River, which is located a couple of hundred metres behind the camera position. I rather like the colours that the harsh mid-day light provides. As for the gentleman depicted in the lower left of the mural, I still wonder what he is up to but, being of a charitable nature, let us say he is fishing. – JW

Tucked into a charming stretch of 17th Street NW in Washington, D.C.'s Dupont Circle neighborhood, Hardware on 17th is more than just a hardware store — it’s a beloved neighborhood institution. Captured here at the golden hour when the soft light from the shop’s windows spills warmly onto the sidewalk, the storefront radiates an inviting, old-fashioned charm that feels increasingly rare in a rapidly modernizing city.
With its crisp white woodwork, large bay windows, and the historic True Value sign overhead, the building looks much as it might have decades ago. The shop specializes in practical, everyday essentials — paint, keys, garden tools — but it also embraces a bit of whimsy, as seen in the colorful, eclectic window displays showcasing everything from watering cans to kitchen gadgets. The vintage Benjamin Moore sign above the paint section hints at the shop’s long-standing commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
In a city often defined by monumental architecture and stately avenues, the cozy, human scale of this block — and Hardware on 17th specifically — offers a refreshing counterpoint. It’s a reminder that D.C. isn’t just a capital of politics; it’s a collection of distinct neighborhoods where small businesses like this one create the daily texture of city life.
Photographed during a quiet evening just after sunset, the image highlights the subtle beauty of everyday urban spaces. Bare winter tree branches frame the building above, while the warm interior glow draws the eye inward, evoking feelings of community, resilience, and comfort.
Whether you're stopping by for a can of paint, a spare key, or simply a friendly chat with the staff, Hardware on 17th remains a touchstone of neighborhood life — a reassuring constant in a city that is always evolving.

I love the look of this living room -- the walls are 'Veil Cream,' a metallic paint by Benjamin Moore -- but sadly, the paint doesn't come highly recommended. Reviewers say it looks much more metallic when applied, and produces a significant ragging effect. Sigh! Trim is Snowfall White, also by Benjamin Moore.

hooray! i finally got the living room wall painted. the color is cool aqua from benjamin moore. the couch is on it's way out. hopefully this one will be in it's place soon.
In her Manhattan apartment, designer Amanda Nisbet lacquered the walls of the library with a custom-mixed green (based on Benjamin Moore's Forest Moss). “I mixed a tone that was slightly muddy for some coziness and coated both the walls and the millwork in it so as not to cut up the room," she said.
She used the same color to spruce up the desk and chair set, coating the red leather desktop with green paint and swapping the chair’s red leather for a nailhead edged chartreuse Edelman leather on the front and a Clarence House gray velvet on the back. Above the desk hang three black-and-white photos from the Staley-Wise Gallery: A portrait of Mick Jagger by David Montgomery; a photograph of Yves Saint Laurent kissing Francoise de la Renta by Jerry Schatzberg; and a shot of the model Varuschka by Bert Stern.
Nisbet used more smoky gray tones throughout the room to ground the vibrancy of the wall paint. The sofa is upholstered in the same gray Clarence House velvet as the desk chair. “Gray hides a host of evils and lasts forever -- it’s a great workhorse,” she said. The green throw pillows are from Madeleine Weinrib.
The small tables are 1940s French and come from an old hotel in Paris. Made of brass and glass, they help open up the room; Nisbet said a coffee table would be too imposing in the tight space (the room is 10' by 12').
Rug is from the Rug Company. Roman window shade made of Holland & Sherry felt edged in Samuel & Sons’ Greek Key-pattered tape. Custom T-back slipper chair upholstered in Holland & Sherry gray pinstriped fabric. French chandelier is 1940s and made of mercury glass, brass, and wrought iron.

Decorator Joe Nye sums up this feminine bedroom as "Christian Dior in Palm Beach." Walls are painted Benjamin Moore's November Skies. The bed is from West Elm and the bed linens are from Williams-Sonoma Home. The French settee (a 1920s copy of a Louis XVI piece) came from Chapman Radcliff and is covered in a Scalamandré raspberry silk damask. Double-gourd pink bedside lamp by Christopher Spitzmiller, through Hollyhock. The lavishly patterned window shade fabric is Manuel Canovas's Bragance in taupe. “I wanted to make the room girly without being silly,” says Nye.
