Well. We have finally completed the painting in a couple of rooms...the hallway & entry AND the master bedroom. Hooray! Here are the results:
These photos do not accurately reflect the color of the rooms. Please don't write to me about how I'm ruining this mid-century modern house with my paint colors. I believe in preserving the house as much as possible but I also firmly believe that most architects want their house to be LIVED IN. And enjoyed.
That being said, I did pick colors that I think will do the house justice. The gold hallway being one. This color is porter paints' "spiced vinegar".
And here's the nook. I love the nook.
And here's my hubby. I love my hubby. He's doing the 2nd round of paint of the hall closet. I roped him into it after I did the first. I don't think he had previous closet painting experience. I'm not sure I'll be able to trick him into it again.
Our master bedroom now boasting gorgeous red oak floors, fresh white trim paint, no curtains, & a new paint color ("stonehenge greige"). It's a whole new look and one I can actually sleep in. Please note the former orange paint shown below. It only took 2 coats of primer & 2 coats of brown to cover it!
Phew.
