Painting, painting, painting…
Again just more trim painting this week. It seems to go so slow because they have to tape everything off in order to paint it. And there’s so much trim around the house, especially because of all of the transom windows (interior & exterior). So that adds a lot of time to what normally wouldn’t take as long.
Besides just the trim painting, I also had to choose colors for the boys’ rooms. I ended up mixing a couple colors together to create my own dark blue color for Cameron’s room and then I had Sherwin Williams color match it. For Spencer’s room I had a hard time choosing. The blue I had purchased from Restoration Hardware ended up having too much purple in it. So then I mixed one of my own and I still didn’t like it. Finally, I grabbed some color chips and settled on Sherwin Williams’ Languid Blue.
-
- The darker navy on the left was from Restoration Hardware. I mixed that with a lighter blue from RH and created the color on the right – perfect!
-
- I tried a couple different colors in Spencer’s Room and ended up choosing the one on the left – Languid Blue from SW.
-
- The kitchen trimwork was painted this week. I can’t wait to see these windows without all of the plastic & tape.
-
- The paint is still wet and glossy but it’s looking great!
-
- The doors continue to be painted and are left drying all around the house.
-
- They took the cover off of the hearth so this is the first time I’ve gotten to see the fireplace tile with the hearth. It’s looking better than I was expecting. and I know it’ll look even better with grout.
