Well… Here are a few snap shots to give me an alibi for being LAZY with my posts lately!
Things are starting to look GOOD!!!
And guess what….
I Made the decision and am in the process of covering the RED!!! I know, I know! I thought I was going to keep it,
but like my Mom said “This is something you have been wanting to do for a long tme, and it’s just a can of paint.” She is soooo right! So for the past 3 days, I have been priming away.
Boy, it takes A LOT of time to cover red! Aughhhhh!
Especially if you are super picky about straight lines as I am. I use a tiny brush to make sure all my lines are straight. I don’t trust tape :)in the past it ALWAYS bleeds through even though I have spent GOOD money on tape that promises it won’t bleed.
So now I just rely on a steady hand!
My kitchen is going to be the Comfort Grey from (Sherwin William) and for the front room, I tweaked the color that I originally was going to use (Tobacco Road) and had them mix a color that is somewhere between Tobacco Road and Plantation beige.
Tobacco was just a bit too intense for my taste.
For all of you interested, here is the formula:
Can I just tell you how much I LOVE THE FACIAL HAIR!
As a professional brand designer, Brett doesn’t get a chance to “dress down” all that much so this time he said was going to grow out beard until the project is completed.
Oh PLEASE finish soon!!! 🙂
Here is what he came up with to adorn the arched door way.
And Here they are nailed in place!
Wow, can’t wait to see all this trim painted!
I guess we’ll see if that happens???
P.S. My doors will be here in a week! At least that is what the cabinet guy said; I’ll bet it will be two 😉
I'm so happy you decided to do away with the red! I love red but I'm so super excited to see what you do next. And I cannot wait to see your doors! Loving Brett's beard too! 😉
Can't wait to see it finished! I am loving the trim over the archway :).
Love the arch trim, and I too can't wait to see how the red room re-do ends up! I have a red wall that I have loved but have been debating a change for about 6 months. Maybe your room will convince me. 🙂
the arch progress is so exciting! and i totally agree with you regarding tobacco road. in my old house i painted the guest room that color and i'll tell you, i hated it every.single.day! too orange-y and well…TOBACCO! lol
Its looking so good. I can only imagine what it will look like when its finished.
