PAINT
This week has been about painting the room.
We chose a bright white for the trim and doors.
And we chose a bright green for the walls.
Arthur would not be swayed from a bold green and I decided to go with it (the picture above is a Benjamin Moore image).
It is a kid’s room after all.
The color we chose is STOKES FOREST GREEN by Benjamin Moore.
Below is the slanted wall that you see from the bed. We are going to put the decorative wallpaper mural there on the top half of the wall. It is called HIGH SEAS in Henderson Blue by REBELWALLS. We ordered it online from Sweden and had it in less than a week. It came with the glue, too.
For the first coat I did a really rough paint job around the trim because it was not dry yet and I was eager to get the color up on the walls. The next day I taped all the trim before applying the second coat.
Arthur was able to help out with the roller portion of the painting.
I decided to continue the color on the ceiling because I was afraid the room would feel chopped up and I want the mural to be the focus.
I’m afraid to go too dark in any room in Portland as we are always starved for light in the winter time, but I think the bright color will be cheerful. The room glows like an emerald jewel as you walk up the stairs.
Looking forward to sharing the final results with you next week.

See you next week!
