The Blue Wall...

Let me start by saying I hate the color blue. It sounds harsh, I know. But our latest project involved a Royal Blue "accent wall". Namely, covering it up with 5 total coats of paint!! This project makes me so happy! Now that it's done, I love going up there to enjoy the feeling of space. Just so you can appreciate the after, here are some pictures of the process. 

Originally, we were hoping 2 coats of white would do it, but it ended up needing 3 coats! I swear we could still see blue underneath. We painted the remaining walls, the ceiling and closet white as well.

Finally, we painted the entire room Egyptian Cotton by Dulux. It's a nice neutral that looks different through the day. It ranges from looking tan in the morning to almost grey at night. We also painted both doors, the baseboards & all the trim!

This project felt like it went on forever, and it took a lot of work. It turned out better than we expected, and the room feels so much bigger now!! So for those of you coming to visit, your room is done! Well, almost... I wouldn't make you sleep on the floor!
