I transformed my bathroom with Behr’s Light French Gray paint color and it looks amazing!

I really needed to go to work this weekend to get caught up.  I made it a full hour at the office (which on the weekend is the equivalent of about five hours during the week when people are there), but I couldn’t stop thinking about painting. I’ve been obsessing over this Light French Gray paint color and knew I needed this subtle color in our home!

Six hours later, I have the first coat of paint completed and a portion of the second paint coat. I went with Behr’s Light French Gray paint color (but used their paint and primer in one since I had to cover the existing dark brown color).  While painting it felt like I was using white paint because it was so much brighter.  It really is amazing how much lighter the master bath is now with the fresh coat of paint.  I worked nearly sixty hours this week at the office, but honestly I found this to be the best way to relax and clear my mind after being super busy.  Just me, a paint roller, and my iPod!
You can see how the full makeover turned out in this post, but here’s a sneak peak of the new Light French Gray paint color in our master bathroom!

I love how it turned out and the fact that it completely brightened our otherwise (very) dark bathroom!
