How I used Dunn-Edward’s Moss Cottage to add Richness, Drama and Dimension to our Home
Creating Intentional Accent Walls
When it came to renovating our own home we wanted to incorporate a color that added Richness, Drama & Dimension to align with our Rustic Vibe. I’ll be sharing how I used Moss Cottage to enhance & elevate the look of our home while sharing my favorite go-to paint products I used for an impressive finish & ultimate durability.
Cozy, Nature Inspired Spaces
By coating our Board & Batten and Channel Groove Millwork with the Moss Cottage it helped break up the walls adding dimension, drama, and texture. We just went for it and encompassed the entire wall including Window Casings, Baseboards and Wall Heaters in the same color to create the most dramatic backdrop creating a a cozy and relaxing space.
What Color is Moss Cottage?
Dunn-Edwards’ Moss Cottage is a deep, muted green-paint color that evokes a sense of tranquility and natural elegance. It is a unique and captivating color that is often associated with nature. It is a shade that is commonly observed in plants and other natural surroundings. I selected Moss Cottage because it flows beautifully with all the other natural elements throughout our home.

My Favorite Go-To Paint Products
While Moss Cottage is from the Dunn-Edwards collection, I had it matched to my favorite Benjamin Moore Products. For trim-work including Board & Batten & Channel Groove walls I used Benjamin Moore’s Advanced Satin. It’s a Hybrid Product that levels out beautifully when brushed on leaving a flawless finish.
For walls my go-to product we use in all our client’s homes is the Benjamin Moore’s Scuff-X Matte. I love the maximum durability & impressive finish without the shine. All my ceilings are tinted to the same color as our main wall & trim color, Benjamin Moore’s White Dove.
