Fresh Apple Walls
Jan. 7th, 2013 03:21 pmA few weeks ago, I saw on Facebook a photo of a friend's home office and fell in love with it. There was something about the color, a bright, but deep green shade. For a bedroom it would be too much, a kitchen would be a bit overwhelming. For an office, with other lighter colors though, I thought it was perfect. Green is my favorite color and it inspires I think.
My home office has always needed a change. I painted it years ago a color called "wedding white." I wanted a grayish shade and ended up with something that had a hideous pinkish tint to when the light was right. Light that wasn't in place when I painted it originally. Admittedly, I should have known better. I was too tired to repaint it at the time, so I coped with it.
My Home Office Before
So after being inspired by the FB friend's home office and turning 40, I figured this was the equivalent of the start of a mid-life crisis woman getting a new hairdo. I went to Home Depot, got scoped out by the guy at the paint counter who is on Bear411, and found the color called "fresh apple." I started painting yesterday afternoon and finished the multiple coats of plain ultra-white and green apple on different walls around 1:30 AM this morning. This morning, after letting the pain dry overnight, I was incredibly happy with the result, even with some poor edging in areas. I spent all morning reassembling my office.
My Home Office Today
Now what to do next. Oh yeah... nap... :)
