short break

Thought I would check in while the paint dries before applying a second coat. So far thin the last 2 weeks I got the office, small bedroom, entrance hallway, dining room, sunroom and kitchen painted and  working on the  family room right and 2 cans of paint waiting for the master bedroom.

Now that's motivation for you.   We look forward to seeing pics of the finished results. 

A thought came to mind, sun, that it is a brand new home and must have been all freshly painted when you first moved in.   Now you must be customizing it.   Are you using different color schemes for each room?   I bet there is a lot of blue.   As you are very artistic I can't wait to see what you are doing.

The last few homes we built, they only spray paint with a primer, bone white in color. They do paint the trim bright white so that's a real plus.

I can't wait either...

hope you have some stripes in a room... how much fun is that...

you don't know me... Sun... I'd have one room plaid... for real...

I did show you my wallpaper didn't I once... didn't I...

No stripes luv....I am going to build a headboard  too. But not till I am burnt out on painting rooms.

The contrast with the white sashes and crown moulding is spectacular.  I love the floor to ceiling windows...I long for things like that...

I hated the contractor white throughout the house, but of course, being a first time home buyer, didn't realize I actually could have paid to have it painted other colors.  But the satisfaction of doing it myself meant a lot more.  It was when we decided to repaint the majority of the interior about 7 years ago that we found out what a job it was full of furniture...LOL  It took us about a week, using a Wagner power painter.  I am still going to have to do some repainting before we sell to tone down the boy's rooms and their bathroom, but the rest I am leaving the way it is, LOL.

I love that wall color.  Is it a teal or a touch of aqua?  It is a very soft color and a lovely contrast with the white trim.

It's Valspar Reserve paint, the color is Tropical Bay. I LOVE it!! I may do the bathroom in a lighter shade of it.

Tropical Bay - perfect name for that color paint.

Valspar is good paint, we usually use it as well.

Really love wall the color...

windows are to die for...

and yes you needs a headboard but not the one you wanted (fencing...hell no)...

now for those lamps... they have got to go... reasons....you have to get up and reach to turn them on...unless you have the clapper...they wouldn't work for me...

plus....

oh enough...

I 'm not feeling the lamps...

carpet are nice in a bedroom wish I had carpet here... find some designer throws rugs to cover over the carpet...

pictures on the wall and hanging plant in front of the windows..

Please Sun... don't put fencing in that room... it just wouldn't work in my opinion....you want romance not splinters...

thanks for sharing...
