I went with my old standby - Glidden's Duo paint + primer in one. Mostly because I'm lazy and I don't like to prime. Well I bet you can guess by the virtual homage in this post that I absolutely love the colors and the finish. (You can also guess that I'm still not done in here - I'm working on a mural for the left side of the room that I never seem to get around to finishing which is holding up the works.) It covered the medium green that was in this room before (formerly our guest room) beautifully and the black is the exact shade I wanted. So yeah!
The colors I used were Dove White and Deep Onyx, both in the Glidden Duo flat finish.

Are house projects ever really done? Not sure how you do all that you do, but I am domestically jealous. Next project, the guest bedroom!

ReplyDeleteHonestly, I would use the gift card toward tile and paint!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are stunning in here! The matte finish looks incredible and balances the room so nicely. Tying it in with just hints of other color truly makes this room a standout. Can't wait to see the mural! Also, LOVE the painting above the bed!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I would use the gift card towards repainting my master bedroom which is presently three shades of purple and I unfortunately like NO shades of purple. Ok, maybe a few, but none of these. :-)

ReplyDeleteI'd love to paint my bathroom purple
ReplyDeleteWhat wouldn't I spend it on? Paint! Tools for some bigger renovations! The list could go on! (but probably paint ;) )
ReplyDeleteOur new home is painted cream and Iridescent Lava, which is as beautiful as it sounds.It looks brown in some light and purple in others and it's only redeeming quality is that it makes my hair look redder somehow and I've always wanted red hair. We want to paint everything! White! Grey! Something fun! I haven't decided because we don't have the cash...
ReplyDeleteWe need to paint our bathrooms- we would buy gray paint!
