These are the colors I've chosen. From left to right we have Smoky Mountain Spring, Rue Bourbon and Sassafras Tea. I really like the way the cool blue works with the warm browns. Hope it works as well on the walls!
Today's accomplishments.
Masking with newspaper and tape and covering stuff with old sheets:
The tedious detail work - painting the corners and edges with Sassafras Tea. Have you ever wondered who gets paid to come up with names for paint colors?
Nearly done painting the walls with Sassafras Tea.
I painted around the refrigerator until hubby had time to help me move it. The fridge is now sitting in the middle of the room so I can finish painting the walls where it was located. In case anyone is wondering, it will be vacating the room for a spot in the garage.
I really like the Sassafras Tea. When I first started painting, I was worried that it was going to be too dark, but I was worried for nothing. The plan for tomorrow is to paint the ceiling in the same color and paint the block wall dark brown. Bonus if I get the other wall painted blue too!
Three years ago I claimed a little storage room at the bottom of the stairs to the basement as my own. I did all the work, painting: walls, cabinets, ceiling, sewed curtains - the only girly ones in the whole house. Laid tile floor... and that is what has become my studio. I can't tell you how grateful I am to have a dedicated space for myself! Of my guys only the dog is allowed in! Can't wait to see how yours turns out!
ReplyDeleteKarin, that sounds like a wonderful space. There's something about a room under the stairs that is cozy and charming. Doing all the work yourself really makes it yours too - it sounds wonderful!
