With a place that idyllic, we’d be homebodies too.
After a decade of designing some of the loveliest homes on TV, it’s no surprise that Ben and Erin Napier have nailed the art of home design. Recently, Erin decided to turn the lens on her own home, sharing rare shots of the family’s weekend countryside retreat.
Restored in 2023, the property sits on sprawling farmland just outside of Laurel, Mississippi, and boasts a 1930s-inspired kitchen, six bedrooms, and an outdoor pool, but the detail fans are loving most from the 4,000-square-foot farmhouse? The exterior paint color. Admirers sounded off in the comments, noting the “beautiful,” “lovely,” and even “spectacular” home.
While we can’t confirm the exact hue used on the house siding, we have a few ideas of which cans of paint Erin might have reached for. Known for her love of green, Erin has favored the color for its earthy, innately calming aesthetic. She’s used many shades in projects over the years, and we believe her own home was no exception.
Here are our top picks for paint colors that channel the same cozy country vibe as the Napiers’ house exterior.
Kale Green by Sherwin-Williams
Selected for season four’s Yeager House, this shade is vibrant without sacrificing the grounding quality of earth tones. Erin used the shade to bring a touch of color to the doorway of the Scandinavian-inspired home.
Cascades by Sherwin-Williams
Featured in season five, this shade was used on none other than a project for her in-laws. The deep, gray-green hue coated the window grids and stairs of the couple’s first home.
Rookwood Sash Green by Sherwin-Williams
This was also featured in the same family-focused episode as above. Erin chose this color for the siding of her brother-in-law’s home.
Grizzle Gray by Sherwin-Williams
Sherwin-Williams may call it gray, but we know from season four’s Turner Home that this shade comes with notable green undertones. Used to add a touch of elegance to the once-neutral dining room, Erin used this hue to add character to the space.
Caldwell Green by Benjamin Moore
Featured in her own primary bathroom, Caldwell Green is a known favorite in Erin’s color palette for its lighter hue and historic roots. In her home, she pairs the color with marble flooring and brass fixtures.
Rock Bottom by Sherwin-Williams
Rock Bottom is the closest match we could find in Erin’s known palette. As featured in season two’s Smith house, the mossy hue is cool, classic, and dynamic, shifting between deep green and black depending on lighting.
