I love painting walls! I don’t know why, but I do.
The past few days I’ve been working over at the studio painting the walls in what will be my new office space and having so much fun!
It’s a small place and the ceilings are sloped upstairs so I decided to paint the ceiling my favorite Benjamin Moore color {chantilly lace} to {hopefully} make the room seem larger than it is.
Once the ceiling was done it was time to tackle the side walls.
I still can’t believe I stepped out of my comfort zone and painted the walls {Benjamin Moore bird’s egg} blue!!
I painted the storm door on the front of the house this color and LOVED the way it turned out so I decided to see if I’d like it just as much inside. And I do!
The old color on the wall was a drab grey blue color that neither of us liked that much.
I decided that if I was going to have color on the walls, I wanted the color to be bright and happy. Something that would be cheery even during the long winter months.
My soon to be writing nook.
That desk I found at the Re-Store for $20 is going to look great once I get it sanded and re-painted white, don’t you think? The size was spot on!
Call me crazy but I think the American Gothic Paint by number I did last winter would look perfect above the desk. I mean, the whole place doesn’t have to have a seaside vibe to it, right? Maybe I should hang all my paint by numbers in this room?
I don’t know. I’m trying to not get too ahead of myself and just concentrate on one room at a time.
Hopefully by the end of the week I’ll have the window trim painted and then the place will be ready for carpet!
Yee-haw. Progress! It’s a good thing.

Maybe put the desk in front of the window so you can lookout. I like the color you picked. Looks cheery!

I love that color and the desk is a perfect fit!

I think the picture ties in nicely as the sky in the pic matches the walls.

Did you need to do a primer coat between the old grey-blue and the robin’s egg blue? I ask because our bedroom is a bluish-grey color that I hate and I’m thinking of doing the same!
