i am covered from head to toe in paint...well not head, everyone warned me to wear a hat, but face to toe for sure (i didn't wear shoes). and i'm done. and the place looks awesome. for now, i've decided to leave the bedroom the color that it is...what looked like maroon now appears, next to the coral hallway, to be the perfect deep plum and while i fear such a dark bedroom, i'm willing to give it a try. once our stuff arrives and we are unpacked, if i want to paint it i still can, but it is for sure going to take two coats of primer and right now there is simply no time for that.
i don't think i had any clue when i bought the paint how daring i was being with color. ABN totally let me take the lead (largely because of his lack of interest in the painting to begin with) and while the caramel sugar looked a little boca-esque this morning when i arrived, next to the hacienda sun it mellows out and looks absolutely perfect. now all i need is an aqua craft room/laundry room and i'll be in color heaven.
i'm going to shower and then cook dinner so when ABN comes home we can eat and watch the convention. if i turn the water on wicked hot i'm hoping the paint will just melt off.
