I bought another gallon of Restoration Hardware’s Slate paint yesterday (first used here). Looking back at my PhotoShop mock-ups of the new dining room, I actually really like how the room looked with the current paint removed (third photo below), leaving a dark charcoal wall color vs. the light version I tried to ‘re-paint’ it. The first photo is how the room currently looks, the second is ‘painted’ with Behr’s Castle Path {currently in our master bedroom and likely the color we will use throughout the rest of the new house} and the last is the ‘paintless’ version which is a lot like the Restoration Hardware Slate color.
Prior to purchasing the paint, I mentioned my thoughts to the husband. Â He said he actually loves our laundry room more than any other room in the house {????} and that it was a great idea. So, I pulled the trigger. Â I think the room will still be very bright given the open access to the kitchen, the four windows and the sliding glass doors and transom. Â The curtains arrived this week, as well, and they look great. Â Excited to finish up this room over the next month!
I also went to our new HomeGoods today {first time even though it opened in October – talk about self-control!!} and found two really cool, huge, heavy wood corbels {with distressed gray paint}. I may hang them in the corners to the entrance of this room. Â I really hope they look good there.
Wouldn’t you know it though? I ordered the paint yesterday and today there is a private sale offering 20% off full-priced items? Maybe I just need to order more paint there now 😉
