Interior Paint ~ Upstairs

Monday, April 4, 2011

This picture is of the largest room upstairs, the one that faces the front of the house.  Both bedrooms upstairs were a light pink color, with matching carpet (guess the previous owners really loved pink).  After much deliberation and confusion on colors to match a Victorian style bedroom set Missy had in the family, we finally ended up with a truly accurate Victorian tri-color scheme.

Unfortunately you can still see the mauve carpet in this picture (soon to be torn out), but this is almost the finished product.  Mary spent 3-4 days on this room alone.  Tapping off all the intricate molding around all three windows and trim around two doors (entry and closet).  We went with Behr Ultra again, using Fossil Butte for the body, Quiet Veranda for the upper portion and doors, and Japanese Maple for all the trim.

Update: 5/10/11

Slightly saturated picture here, but you can see the room now with it's baseboards in and NO more mauve carpet!  Andy did a wonderful job buffing and sanding down the original Hemlock.  We were so happy with how well they turned out.  Johnny spent last week working on painting the baseboards and installing them himself.
