Last month I decided to recreate my studio space in the spare bedroom. I wanted a library nook with floor to ceiling book shelves along two of the walls. I also wanted the walls to be freshened up.
So my journey began by picking out the colors. I decided to go with Bakery Box white for the walls (Behr paints) which has a blue undertone and Treasure Map blue for the bookshelves. My brother is a handy dandy carpenter, so when he asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I told him custom bookshelves! I'll pay for the material and he is gifting me his time and talent!
The room is shaped like an L so last weekend I painted three out of the 6 walls. This morning I added a light third coat, which dried pretty quick.so I was able to put the art back up this afternoon I did learn a hack from you tube in regards to nails. If you have a fluffy enough roller no need to take the nails out, just paint over them. That worked so it saved me time.
I just finished taking the books off of the bookshelves that I currently have so I can move them and paint the rest of the walls. I'm not sure if I'm wasting my time painting these walls since the bookshelves are going to be cover most of the wall space, but I guess I might as well paint just incase small areas may show.
I also got a bit creative by painting the light switch cover and the plug covers. Something different.
