It’s been somewhat rainy here at Purgatory, since it is winter after all, so I have a second project starting that is completely indoors: repainting a room. Not just any room–the horrible purple bedroom. Here are a couple of shots of just how purple it is.
I’m trying out the Sherwin Williams paint app. With it, I can take pics of the room and then paint it electronically with their palette of colors. The app tries to maintain the original shading/lighting captured by the image used, so it will be interesting to see the results and compare them to the projected look. We chose a light steel blue with a darker blue trim.
Before we can begin painting though, we have much work to do. All the cabinet doors and drawers of the built-in must be removed, all the electrical faceplates pulled off, two (yes, two) phone jacks and a plethora of screw and nail holes all need patching and spackling. Then of course I will have to wash and prep the walls before putting on a coat of primer, and finally painting the trim and then the walls themselves.
I want to get all of this done sooner than later as I’ve already ordered a nice pull-out sofa for the room. It’s sort of like the one below but longer, in blue with grey piping, and with taller arms. I’ll just take a pic of the real couch when it arrives.
