Front Room and Bedroom and Hall- Oh My!

Ford- The Boxer was visiting to help us paint on Friday.

Another trip to Home Depot to buy paint for the other walls in the Front Room. The one wall you remember is Teal and Black stripes. So we had decided on a Saffron yellow. My daughter wanted to go with the third from the top on the Yellow card. I was looking at one just a shade lighter. Jeff was not with us to add his opinion in. So I asked a lady looking around for colors to match a carpet sample that she had. She concurred on the Yellow above so I went with it.

The Purple is for the hallway and the Grey at the top is for the other wall in our Bedroom.

The first coat on the hallway below seems dark at night , but above is how the color looks when finished.

The hall looking into our room

After getting most of the Black stripes completed on this wall, everyone agreed that we would keep this wall Black and White, rather than the Black and Hydrangea Blurple stripes that were originally planned.

So the Blurple was added to the opposite walls. It is such a beautiful color, far different from the Haunted Mansion inspired Purple of the hallway.

Smashing in Stripes!

I have 2 stripy walls to paint. One Black and Teal, and one Black and a sort of Hyacinth purple. First the Black and Teal. This is in the front room.

 

First I taped all the edges

 

 

Then I started with the Teal, so if I screw up up the black will cover. I am leaving white in between for extra contrast. The trim in this room will be white. I am using a 3 inch roller and lots of patience!

 

I am painting over some rough wood paneling that has been white since the beginning of time. The white space between each stripe is indented. My daughter Angelina was helping me so I wouldn't hurt my arm again. We have discovered that painting walls is not her forte. I told her to please not be offended, but not to touch the black paint at all.

 

Teal is done, now for the black. Here it goes!

 

The more I do, the better it looks!

I Love it!
