I had a pretty lengthy to-do list made up for this week and some of it has been accomplished. Some of it is still waiting for me to get to it. I had intended to paint our fence this week but for a variety of reasons, it hasn't happened yet. Instead, I decided to tackle a smaller painting project...
After we moved in, we never got around to painting the hallway. It was the same hideous peachy color that the living/dining room had been painted. Not only did the color drive me nuts--but the paint job was horrible! The peachy paint was splattered all over the white woodwork and there were corners around the door frames that had never been painted. For a detail-oriented person like me, I couldn't handle it. Therefore, it automatically made my Spring Break To-Do list.
Considering we have turquoise, purple, taupe and light blue rooms coming off the hallway I wanted a "neutral" color to anchor everything. The only problem--I can't imagine living with a neutral wall color. Blah!
I picked frosted pine and decided to give it a try. It was one shade lighter than sage on the color deck so I was hoping it would do the trick.
As soon as I put it on the wall, I became hesitant. It was MUCH lighter than I expected it would be.
As the paint dried, it became MUCH darker. However, I'm just not sure if this is the right color. I purposely picked something that wouldn't be very saturated...In person, it is a lot more green. However, it's a little too traditional for my liking but maybe it will grow on me. Especially if I can find some fun wall accessories...right??? Considering all the cutting in and touch up work I had to do, it will stay up for a while regardless of my final opinion. But I do know that it makes the hallway a little brighter and it really brings out the color of the floors--that, I do like!
