It looks crazy weird at this angle – but it’s actually much bluer…Īnd yes, once the paper comes up off the floor, it actually looks different (I’m such a tease!) I mean, this baby would probably be born with three arms otherwise…although that could be kind of awesome when it comes to sports – like wrestling or swimming.Īnd now through the magic of the internet – here is the finished walls! And God bless the inventors of the zero VOC paint. I must admit, it felt really good to get something done. I was able to help with the painting….as in I did all the rest of the painting all by myself (which to a toddler mom, two hours of silence is like a vacation). The front one is from the discount shelf at Target and the back one is from Lowe’s (love love love the color and the drippy bits). It also helped soothe my hyper-emotionalism when I saw how lovely my pots looked with the new wall color. (note – I normally use semi-gloss on trim – and flat on ceilings – but since we were spraying them all, I split the difference with Eggshell) Did I mention that? I totally want this space to be girly and happy with pops of color and inspiring just like the feeling I get when I peruse .įor all you folks wondering – here’s what we used for the paint agenda – 2 coats of Olympic’s Zero VOC premium in Eggshell colormatched to Benjamin Moore’s Palladian Blue for the upper part of the walls, 1 coat of Kilz Premium waterbased primer & 1-2 coats of Valspar’s Premium Bright White Base in eggshell (no color or tint added) on the lower part of the walls and the ceiling. It’s a great muted but still slightly vibrant greenish blue that looked good with the adjoining office bathroom and was pretty enough to fulfill my dreams of a Kate-Spade-ish office space. In the end, we ended up going with Benjamin Moore’s Palladian Blue. or got him to marry me…or date me…or speak to me in general. It’s kindof amazing that I ever got pregnant. You probably would guess that it would entail some sort of emotional breakdown on my part where I end up on the floor telling Jeremy to just pick a color because (and I quote) “I CAN’T HANDLE ANY MORE DECISIONS! I AM ONE GIANT SMELLY BRAIN FART AND I AM GOING TO SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST IF I HAVE TO CHOOSE…AND YOU DON’T WANNA LIGHT THIS FART ON FIRE!” And if you guessed that…you probably would be right. Now comes the part in this story when I tell you about picking colors for the upper part of the wall. (you can see the before and afters in the link above). So we started out with a plan,Ĭontemplated chair options here, got a new toy to spray the walls and ceiling…Īnd then pulled the trigger after some major prep work.Īfter two coats of sprayer-painting was complete, we were left with one heck of a brighter lighter space. Lowe’s Creative Ideas Magazine offered us $300 to makeover a room and this space topped the list. It was painted the very breathtaking colors of Poo & Eww. If you are new to this game, let me tell you what we’ve been up to…first we started with a very ugly & messy office. The office makeover continues! (insert crowd goes wild here – or just really bored moms with Cheerios stuck to the bottom of their fuzzy slippers saying ‘umm…okay’)
