Y’all, I’m champing on the bit to start out my a part of the work on the bed room suite, and to be fairly sincere, I’m regretting hiring out the sanding of the ground. It’s my least favourite half, however I ought to have completed it myself. I received’t go into an extended story about it, however I’ve little or no doubt that the sanding will NOT be completed at the moment. I’m so dissatisfied as a result of I assumed it will be a two-day course of (it will have been had I completed it myself), after which I might spend tomorrow staining the ground. However there’s no approach that may occur now. *Sigh* When will I be taught? If I can do it myself, I ought to do it myself.
Anyway, after he left yesterday night, I examined out the paint samples that I bought for the bed room suite lobby. I had beforehand thought that I’d simply use the identical teal that I’ve already utilized in the home, which is Behr Mythic Forest. It’s been a long-time favourite of mine, going all the best way again to our rental days. It’s what I used within the hallway rest room within the rental.
It’s the colour that I used on the bookcases and doorways in the back of the music room…
And it’s the colour of the cupboards in our pantry…
It’s additionally the colour that’s at the moment on the hallway rest room doorways, however you’re about to see why I wanted a brand new teal for the bed room suite lobby. So I picked up two new colours — Ocean Abyss and Tsunami.
The Ocean Abyss is a bit deeper in coloration, and the Tsunami is a bit bluer.
I tacked up the grasscloth wallpaper within the lobby, despite the fact that the grasscloth received’t really be in right here. And when it’s put in within the bed room, will probably be on the highest portion of the partitions with creamy white (Polar Bear) wainscoting on the underside. The lightest stripe within the hallway is painted Polar Bear. Additionally, the 2 areas (lobby and bed room) can be separated by that little hallway which can be all Polar Bear from ground to ceiling, together with the ceiling in that hallway space. However it helps to have the wallpaper shut when selecting a paint coloration.
I put Ocean Abyss on the left of the lavatory doorways. And once more, the lavatory doorways are Mythic Forest. You may see how the Mythic Forest doorways are a lot grayer in coloration, and the Mythic Forest additionally has a bit extra inexperienced in it. It doesn’t go nicely with the grasscloth wallpaper in any respect, which is why I needed to pick a teal with much less grey and extra depth of coloration to it.
After which I put Tsunami to the correct of the doorways. Though it’s a darker coloration than the Mythic Forest doorways, you may see that the colour is extra vibrant.
Listed here are all three of the colours collectively. On the wall, it’s laborious to inform an enormous distinction between Ocean Abyss and Tsunami, though Tsunami does seem to have extra blue in it, whereas Ocean Abyss appears to have a contact extra grey. However nonetheless, there’s not an enormous distinction.
Right here’s one other angle. This lobby goes to be deep, darkish, and moody, which I really like as an entrance to a bed room suite. At the least, I feel I do. 😀 It doesn’t have any pure mild in it proper now, however I do nonetheless plan so as to add the photo voltaic tube again on this lobby. So it can get some pure mild as soon as that’s re-installed. From this angle, you may actually see how boring and inexperienced the Mythic Forest doorways look with the wallpaper.
I even have to think about that that the closet coloration can be clearly seen from the lobby. All three — the lobby coloration, the closet coloration, and the grasscloth wallpaper within the bed room — can be seen collectively.
The present striped partitions within the bed room are so distracting when making an attempt to visualise these colours collectively.
So I edited the photograph above to cowl up all of that mess so it wouldn’t be as distracting. Right here’s the wallpaper, Ocean Abyss, and Clear Vista (the closet coloration possibility that’s on the left within the closet).
After which right here’s the wallpaper and Ocean Abyss with Tahoe Blue (the colour on the correct) within the closet.
I’m leaning in direction of Clear Vista for the closet. And I actually like Ocean Abyss for the lobby.
It’ll be darkish, however as soon as it’s all completed, I feel it’ll be attractive. After all, the lavatory doorways (which I’ve determine will keep there as a result of that room will finally be the storage closet) can be painted Polar Bear, and the entire trim can be Polar Bear. Plus, it can have some pure mild. And the wall the place the grasscloth is tacked up proper now may have a full-length mirror with a gold body.
I’m unsure but what I plan to do concerning the ceiling mild. It’s not centered within the lobby, and that drives me a bonkers proper now. I haven’t measured to see if it will probably even be centered, or if that may put it too near the HVAC consumption duct. If it will probably’t be centered, I’m unsure what I’m going to do, as a result of it merely can’t keep the place it’s proper now.
Anyway, you actually have to make use of your creativeness to see previous the entire distractions proper now, however that’s the path I’m heading. I feel Ocean Abyss is the winner for the lobby, the lavatory doorways can be Polar Bear, and the closet can be Clear Vista (on the left). And the Clear Vista works fantastically with the lighter blues within the headboard cloth, which can be seen on the far wall of the bed room. It’ll be proper the place that vast lighter teal stripe is on the wall within the bed room.
I don’t know that I’d do such a moody, darkish coloration in a essential space of the home. However contemplating that that is an entrance right into a main bedroom suite, I feel it’ll be attractive.
However as regular, I reserve the correct to alter my thoughts on a whim. 😀 Who is aware of? The entire lobby might find yourself being painted white…or orange…by the point all is alleged and completed. However in all probability not white. I’ve a tough time with white partitions until they’re coated in trim. Sadly, I don’t suppose there’s sufficient uninterrupted wall house within the lobby to do an entire lot of trim on the partitions. However once more, I might all the time change my thoughts. For now, although, Ocean Abyss is the path I’m heading.
