And we're prepping! |
While cleaning said bathroom this week I determined to come
to a decision on a paint color. After
cleaning the bathroom I decided it would be a good time to tape and repair
holes in preparation for the paint. I am
a bit under the gun as my two college student sons are coming home for the
summer. If I didn’t paint before they
arrived, it wouldn’t happen until fall.
Having prepped the walls and prepared my mind for painting
(not my favorite pastime) I made the thirty minute drive to town that evening
to purchase paint from Home Depot. (I could write much about my relationship
with Home Depot, but that will have to wait.) Unfortunately, the paint swatch I
had picked out did not come from Home Depot!
So I made a stab at a close match. I returned home with a gallon of BehrDusty Olive. I had difficulty sleeping as I was so excited to get those ugly
blue walls covered!
Bright and early Thursday I donned my grubby painting
clothes (Sorry, no selfies!) and began the chore. I had nearly completed the task when my hubby
arrived home for lunch. I had used only
about a quart of paint. While we were munching on the lunch that he so kindly prepared
I mused, “I wonder if I have enough paint for the kitchen?”
I got a little carried away. |
Just one of four collections to remove and replace. |
When the task was completed, I had upgraded two rooms for
about $40 and my shoulders and ankles hurt.
Such a difference! |
I have a new favorite paint color and I am wondering if I have enough
paint left to cover a dining room wall!
I love this rich color. |
Gone is the ugly blue glazed white stuff. I wonder why I had that blue paint?
Fresh new look! |
Those chairs are OLD, as in 100 years! |
What do you think? Should I paint the wall on the right of this photo! Maybe I should ask Paulee ...
YES!!! Well done. I have almost decided on my new living room color.

Thanks, Karren! I love it, too. It is the first Behr with primer I have used. It was easy to work with and covered very well.
