studio move: weekend
Monday, June 1, 2009 at 10:03AM 
Over the weekend Nathan and I painted the studio with the help of our friend Abe. Abe paints buildings for a living so he made the whole process much less painful by bringing along his paint tools and helping us work a lot faster. Everything went well except for a spilled paint can (oops) and a one more coat than we anticipated on the darker walls but I love how it came out (a fresh coat of paint makes such a difference!). For the color, I chickened out on the mint I originally thought I would use because 1, I know I change my mind all the time so a specific color might not be best long-term choice and 2, I thought something neutral and light would work best with the space and help brighten it up. I ended up picking "Belvedere Cream" by Behr and hope to still use use the mint on the bathroom (which is on the "not necessary to open" list of things to do).

you picked great colors!
OOooh, I wish I didn't live in an apartment so I could paint!! Love the color choices!! Yuck, that is really tacky window tinting.
Your subject came as a coincidence. I wanted to let you know that I believe you made the right decision. I, too, have been enamored with the same pretty shade. I have it in touches around my kitchen (kitchen towels, colander etc), so I figured why not include it a little more? Yesterday I lined all my kitchen drawers in felt of that color. Oh dear. What was perky and fresh and so lovely in touches turned garish and glowing and became an eyesore h in larger amounts. Thankfully the damage is easily undone and I'm going to make the liners in a similar shade as Belevedere Cream.
