Now I just want to get it finished!
So .......
I painted the cabinets and all the trim twice.
I did the cut work so Frank could roll the walls. He will look for places that need to be given a second coat this morning, but the coverage appears to be pretty good.
And I bought the hardware to reinstall the hinges and pulls on the drawers and cabinets.
I was not happy with the color of the chalk paint. All the photos showed French Linen as brownish grey, which was what I wanted. But it looked blue grey, and not what I wanted. Since the store won't open again until Tuesday, I made the decision to go to Lowe's and get me a browner paint.
So what you see is the chalk paint grey with two coats of brown latex in gloss finish. I used most of one quart of paint to do the two coats on everything.
And while it may look the same exact color, the cabinets/baseboards and the walls are actually a definite shade apart. I wasn't going to repaint a 3rd time! LOL
I want to put some of my art pieces on the walls. And I need a shower curtain. I think I know which one I want.
And of course, now I have to paint the doors. And the baseboards in the rest of the house...........
It looks do clean and fresh! I am so impressed - and I'll bet you will be very happy when it's done. Worth it
