Unfortunately the picture of the original walls didn't turn out. So I want you to imagine light baby blue wallpaper and hideous bright blue drapes with white flowers. Excellent. The wallpaper came down like a dream with some help from Kassi and Chad. After removing the glue layer, we washed the walls with TSP. Luke and his Dad textured the walls and then we primed them. Not glamorous but time consuming. I now appreciate walls in a new and unexpected way.
We decided to go with a pretty neutral color since we have so much going on elsewhere. Teresa painted the walls beautifully and I'm really excited to get some furniture in here soon!
Master Bedroom:
Whew! This room has been so much work. See earlier post for the lovely wallpaper photos but once we got all that off, we cleaned, textured and primed the room. The walls were thirsty for paint and so we needed 2 cans of Behr Paint and Primer in one (after already having put a layer of regular primer on). The color is somewhere between blue and green and changes in the light.
Master Bath:
I hate white walls... I'd rather any color than no color. The bathroom was half wallpaper and half white, even worse.
The look of horror when my aunt saw the color we wanted to paint the bathroom was pretty priceless. Called Chocolate Swirl, it went on like you were painting brownie mix. Kassi however mentioned that if you scuffed the brush it looked like something else :). Now that the paint is on, I just love it so much. It's bold and sexy.
ONE LAST FUNNY
I decided to paint the front door last night. No problem, I've got it under control. Paint looked great and I went to put the doorknob back on. I'm a smart and independent woman, I can do this. Only until I tried to close the door did I realize that I'm also blonde and shouldn't try and rush things at 11:00 at night.
Looks great. You guys have done an amazing job. Can't wait to see it. Love and Hugs!
