If you recall from my inspiration post and my post about the junkyard that accumulated during my master bedroom paintover, this craft room's earlier days have already had some challenges.
This past weekend was my opportunity to change all of that. After quickly reorganizing the mess to the closet and moving a few pieces to the guest bathroom (only for the time being), I happily began my first coat. As I predicted, this room with only one doorway, one closet, and one window was MUCH easier to tackle than the large master and living room.
Because I went with neutral walls for the two earlier painting projects, I really wanted a jolt of color to keep the creativity flowing. Even though it is only a pale color on the swatch, when applied to the wall, Valspar's Distant Valley (matched to Behr's Ultra Premium flat enamel - see this post to know why) really pops thanks to the sunlight filtering into the room through the corner window. On the paint sample, the color is a muted, calming blue. Once it hits the wall, it becomes more teal-y (ok, not a word, but you get it) and vibrant. Thanks to the addition of bright white trim, the room is now F-R-E-S-H! Take a look!
