Finished painting… for now.

I finished painting the sun room.  If you read my previous post you’ll know all info about the colour and what tools I used.  I was a bit worried after I finished the second coat as it looked a little streaky, but the paint dried very smooth and I don’t think it’ll need a 3rd coat.

You’ll notice in this picture that the lighting is yellowish.  It almost makes the wall look a little taupe.  We plan on trying to find a different light bulb for our track lighting that will be more white.

I don’t believe the gray goes at all with the blinds at all.

So we removed the blinds.  In this shot the yellow light isn’t as noticeable and it looks much more gray (which was the colour we were looking for).

Let us know what you think!  So looking forward I have a couple projects in mind.  I told myself no more painting until the fall, since the weather is just way too nice to be spending it inside painting – although my brother in law told me to give him a whole bunch of reno stuff to do when he comes over in a couple weeks so we might end up tackling “The Pink”.

As you can see it is an eye sore.  If I end up letting him off the hook I may start refinishing this table, I’m not crazy about the stain on it, I think I might make the top 1 colour and the bottom another.

Let me know if you have any ideas for the table, my first challenge will be trying to take off the varnish & stain.  If you have any tips let me know!

More progress on the workout/sun room

Been a few days since I’ve posted, thought I would share some of the progress on the workout/sun room. 

The colour turned out a lot more green (we expected it to look much more gray).  This could be due to looking at it under the light at night time.

I’ve only done the first coat as well, so It is possible that it may turn out a little different with the second coat.

Our intention was to closely match the gray in the brick to make the brick stand out more.

Here it what it looks like in daylight.  You can tell it needs another coat as it looks quite streaky with first coat.

Let us know what you think.
