It's no secret that I have a love for painting. Not artistically (that's laughable), but painting walls in homes. Well, my homes - I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much painting someone else's walls, it would have to be a really interesting color. The immediate gratification drives me. I just love seeing a room transform within hours and for very little cost. Every wall in my previous home was painted. I have almost every color you can think of in there. Except yellow. Huh, that's odd. My bedroom at my parent's house was painted yellow and I haven't used it anywhere since. Is there some underlying issue there? Perhaps. No use in analyzing that now.
Somehow I got my husband to agree to paint a small wall in the kitchen, it can't even really be considered a wall, it's got a sliding glass door and 2 tall windows on it, Beluga. Yep, Beluga. That's black for all of you non-painties.
We did coat #1 yesterday and I think I like it. I'll have a better idea once we get our new white roman shades up and remove the blue tape. It's definitely different. But I think the white will really stand out once it's all said and done. Plus it's a neutral and it goes well with our black and white (and red sink) kitchen.
And if I don't like it, HGTV will be getting a nasty letter from moi. They have an obligation to not televise the shitty ideas, because people will copy them.

FUN! We need pictures!
I love painting too, but we have painted all the fun colors in our house. Now all that is left is this whitish color that has a touch of brown in it that will go in the halls and then in the kitchen until we have the money to fully remodel the entire thing...aka years. Though it will clean up the walls to have a fresh coat of paint, it is not nearly as dramatic as a nice bold color!!!
The best is when you get to take the tape off when you are all done! That is my favorite!
Niiiice. Can't wait to see it. I'm redoing our guest bedroom and our master...but shhhh, adam doesn't know it yet! LOL - IKEA does though, considering the amount of cash i just dropped there! HA! (school's making me a little crazy :) )
sweet! i do love black...i was JUST thinking of when we built a new house when i was in high school and i talked my parents into black carpet in my bedroom...i was wondering what the owners after us did.
yes, please post a pic. it sounds great!
Somehow convinced me? Funny how you remember how these things go down...
I love that you painted that wall black. I am a lover of painting my house walls until all of them are done, as well. But I'd never considered black. I love it!
As you paint, please post more pics. Of before and afters. I love that stuff.
