Gray-ness
Well, the bedroom painting is finished! What a relief. We tackled it this past weekend and we couldn’t be happier with the results. If you remember, I had scored this can of Premium Valspar gray paint for just $2.50. (It’s the one on the right.)
It wasn’t necessarily the exact color we had originally picked out, so it was definitely a chance taken. However, it is honestly a perfect fit for what we were wanting to achieve. And it would not have been possible if it were for this little guy and a minimal amount of blue painter’s tape.
This is the Shur-Line edger and it is absolutely fabulous for making straight lines along the edges and saving a bunch of time that would have been spent taping. And we all know that extra time is priceless. Especially when it means you will be able to teach your daughter to ride her bike without the training wheels!
Back to the color…
Pinky grabbed her roller and got to work immediately once we broke out the paint. She had fun painting her name and shapes all over the wall and it was a great way to keep her occupied, yet involved in the entire process.
I love photographing this color in Pinky’s room. It seems that it gives off a different look depending on the lighting and time of day.
Sometimes it is very light and airy looking and other times it has a soft blue/purple tone coming through. I was somewhat worried that gray would kind of be a depressing color to be surrounded by, but this gray is just very calm and relaxing.
I think that Pinky is quite happy about her room transformation so far. Her exact words were “I can’t get it out of my head because it is so awesome!” I agree with her. We can’t wait to see how the room transforms as we layer it with furniture and accessories.
So that is our little update on Pinky’s bedroom metamorphosis. We hope you will stick around to see more details as we introduce them to the room!
