Paint Projects Underway

I’ve been on a bit of a paint kick recently. I’ve painted 3 different rooms in the house in the past 3 weeks. Kinda crazy, but I’ve been getting sick of the white walls around here.

The first room I painted was our living room. I had some extra Bottlenose Dolphin paint leftover from old projects and decided to try it out in this room.

So if you remember this grayish blue color it’s because I’ve used it a lot in our home. It’s simply amazing how many things I can paint with two gallons of Valspar paint. The first room I tackled was our sun room…

I was very apprehensive since it’s called an “earthy orange”, but the color is really dreamy in person. I can’t wait to show you the rest of this room!

    Looking good 🙂

    Been painting here too……it’s got to be the hope for something clean, new and not winter!!!………laundry/mud room re-do is in process. Need to finish up painting the walls, so that we can get up beadboard in the mud room part. Also, using “airstone” on a built in trunk and the front of the laundry ledge that the washer/dryer sit on. Seemed simple in my head…but projects do always take longer in reality!

    So funny – we’ve been painting around here too. Working on the guest bathroom right now. I’m attempting to tackle horizontal stripes around the room. Taping it off was a lot of fun – not. Lol. Anyway I really like the idea of painting the inside of your front door! Looks great. Thanks for sharing the paint colors you used too.
