Yesterday I was lucky enough that I didn't have to go into work (yeah), so I grabbed my daughter and we started painting the hardboard planks that I put up on Saturday!
We primed it with about two coats of Kilz.
Then I finished up with the Behr's paint-in-primer "Crisp Linen White"! Even though it had primer it in it still took about two coats and some touch ups here and there. It is a nice paint but you still need primer especially if you are painting white over dark wood.
I think that I am going to paint the hutch the color that is on the door, it is a little less purple than the "Sharky Gray", and it reminds me of the color of driftwood, but who knows, I seem to change my mind a lot!
Love love love it!!!! I cant wait to see when you have it all done. So exicited for you. Dont you just love when your room makes you smile~
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy!!! It totally feels cottagey, wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteThe wall looks wonderful, Michelle! I'm sure whatever color you choose for the hutch will be just right!
ReplyDeleteOh Michelle, This looks beautiful! I love it. It looks like so much work... I cannot believe how quickly you did it. I want to do this on the wall behind my bed so badly! Great job. You really should link to this up a few linky parties. It is amazing!

Beautiful transformation :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job. I am wondering how did you get those boards on the wall. glue or nails? and how long did it take. It looks really really great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great architectural addition! I'm putting your wall in the PoPP Spotlight on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteThat kitchen wall is fantastic. I'm going to be redoing my kitchen in the near future. I might try this on at least one wall! I am a new follower!
ReplyDeleteI see you live in Michigan. We live on the east side near Alpena. Isn't this change in weather something? From wring wet sweating to wearing sweats the next day!
