I am so happy that week three of the one room challenge is over!
I thought this week was going to be a fun one because it was time for the paint, but I didn’t consider all the prep work that needed to be done. Most of my time this week was spent patching walls and sanding and sanding AND sanding. Then wood filling and, of course, sanding some more!
After all of the back-aching prep work was complete, I was finally able to put some colors on the walls. I went into this challenge knowing that I wanted a black vanity. I did not have a color selected for the walls. I knew that I didn’t want light and bright for this room, but I didn’t want something too dark either. Ultimately, I decided to go with Sherwin Williams’ 2022 color of the year, Evergreen Fog. I did waiver a bit on this color when my local store did not have a paper sample or the correct base to mix a sample. I ended up just going for it, and I am so happy with that decision.
Since I wanted the trim and walls to be the same color and finish, I decided to spray the room. It was a great decision. The prep work took me 5+ days and the actual painting took me less than 1 hour. I do have to go back and touch up a few areas, but what a time saver! Also, the finish is great!!!
I am so happy with the color and looking forward to making more progress next week!
