I have found green a hard color. We painted our hallway in a previous apt what we thought was a bright and cheery spring green. It turned out much darker than we thought but we got to liking it.Ravenhillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384299378805534768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4629217942696182058.post-9135407576736878982008-01-22T21:25:00.000-06:002008-01-22T21:25:00.000-06:00Well I tried to take a picture... Here's the har...Well I tried to take a picture... Here's the hard part though, the bathroom has nothing grand about it to take a picture of... ie no focal point... and the bathroom is too small to be able to take a picture of anything while standing inside it. Since I am doing the painting in stages I can't just stand outside the door and take a picture of it since it hasn't been finished either.... Then the pictures I did take didn't show true color.... so I got frustrated erased thie pictures and wrote about it instead. Maybe when we are all done you'll get a picture... Maybe. If I can figure out how. : )<BR/><BR/>But the color is growing on us... I have really come to like the brightness of the green that greats us when I go in there. I am thinking maybe we will just leave it like that for a while and see how it goes. Maybe the cheeriness is just what the winter blahs needed.<BR/><BR/>Oh and it might be awhile till I finish it too. Mike says it needs at least two coats (to waterproof it more) and since I am not using a roller but just a little brush in half hour stints, it is still going to take awhile even though it isn't a big bathroom. I just find it so much easier to do the painting with a kid around if there isn't a roller involved.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16794592162573251230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4629217942696182058.post-65665896293586329622008-01-22T07:49:00.000-06:002008-01-22T07:49:00.000-06:00that's *really* funny johanna!see, tina knows how ...that's *really* funny johanna!<BR/><BR/>see, tina knows how i'm feeling!Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028600889013935580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4629217942696182058.post-22017264789864187202008-01-22T03:14:00.000-06:002008-01-22T03:14:00.000-06:00OH Johanna that is hilarious to picture!!!I am jea...OH Johanna that is hilarious to picture!!!<BR/>I am jealous, Meagan... after 9 years in military housing and 2 years renting, I am so eager to own a home that we can paint! :-) You should post a picture of your bathroom!Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09338179192033070099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4629217942696182058.post-85660979313617721762008-01-21T20:58:00.000-06:002008-01-21T20:58:00.000-06:00Wow! Isn't it amazing what a little cleaning will...Wow! Isn't it amazing what a little cleaning will lead to? We have had that same problem in a bathroom - with the color being much brighter than we anticipated. We have a ducky theme in our boy's bathroom and so we wanted the walls to be blue like water. We picked out a light blue - not too light as to be baby blue, more bright. Well, we (by that I mean Jerry) got it up and the first thing I said when I saw it was, "Holy Smurf, Batman!" It was the exact same color as a smurf. So we got a darker blue glaze and textured it with a sponge. Now I had to help with this because it is impossible to glaze properly by yourself (or so Jerry said.) Picture me, 8 1/2 months pregnant, in a small bathroom with Jerry and a ladder trying to sponge on glaze. There were times that I literally could not turn around because my tummy was too big with the ladder and Jerry so I had to sit on the floor while Jerry carried the ladder out over my head. He then had to come in and help me off of the floor so I could turn around and finish the sponging! What fun memories!Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436720646561133434noreply@blogger.com
