--Jasper Johns

Dramatizing yet grounding everything is a wonderful wall color - Benjamin Moore's Iron Gate, a deep and complex gray-brown. As it happens, I just painted my kitchen cabinets the very same. For the full paintjob and the "do something to that", visit their home via The New York Times.
