Things Are Looking Up

The kids spent Fri eve amongst their grandparents, then my hubby as well as I had a hot engagement that stretched out for a twenty-four hr menses as well as a half...painting our ceiling!  Our sore muscles are yet recovering today, but we're both SO happy amongst the result.

After lots of samples, I chose Benjamin Moore Manchester Tan, but it's mixed at 25% strength.  I actually wanted a light, close white color that yet had some warmth to it without beingness yellow.  In our draw of piece of job solid amongst our lighting, this 1 was only right.  It's then interesting how the color changes then much when you lot alter the intensity.  You tin laissez passer on notice meet inwards these photos how it also has only plenty color that the vivid white crown molding yet stands out.

By the way, don't brand the error I made the final fourth dimension nosotros painted the ceiling...always role apartment pigment on ceilings!  It volition attention enshroud whatever flaws as well as you'll avoid foreign reflections on the ceiling.

Here's the master copy color.  It never seemed that nighttime to me until nosotros got the lighter pigment over it.

I'm 99.9% certain that I'm going to role the same color on the wall.  I painted roughly the entry then I could larn a skillful persuasion of color.  You tin laissez passer on notice meet a faint rectangular sample over the left lamp-that 1 is the same equally the ceiling.  The residue of the wall is Manchester Tan at 50% strength.  It's the same color that Emily has inwards her novel draw of piece of job solid unit of measurement room as well as kitchen.  I LOVED it inwards her house, but it's reading a fighting also xanthous inwards mine.

Here's a shot downwards the hall, there's the master copy color in 1 lawsuit again as well as my many samples that I've been trying out.

We're planning to tackle the walls correct afterward the kids larn dorsum to schoolhouse inwards a few weeks, but I don't know if I tin laissez passer on notice expression that long!  This small-scale sense of savor of lighter as well as brighter has got me anxious for more.

Don't forget, if you lot haven't linked upward for Best of the Nest, you lot cause got until tomorrow.  Remember, it's 1 link per person, as well as we'd dearest to consider featuring you lot but only if you've given a link dorsum to the political party inwards your post.  We dearest seeing what you've been doing inwards July!
