before we moved into our home,
we would show people pics of the living room etc...
and the first thing they would say was,
"Whoa, that red...."
meaning they hated the red color the living room had on all 4 walls.
We weren't huge fans of the red, which btw was much
more intense in real life than the pictures.
So off to Sherwin Williams in search of paint and primer we went!
Luckily it was their 40% off sale...
(which they do every 3-4 months, so never pay full price for their paint)
When we got there we asked the guy who was working if
they had any paint that had been brought back and that if they
could give us an awesome discount on...
Luckily they had a very basic Tan color in a 5 gallon tub,
that someone bought and than decided they didn't like.
I asked how much the discount would be, and he said we could just HAVE IT FOR FREE!
No way! The color would be perfect for Caden's room and maybe the basement
playroom....perfect...!
The guy was feeling extra generous and gave us the
"contractor discount", which meant, we basically got the living room paint and primer,
several hundreds of dollars worth of paint for less than $100 bucks
TOTAL.
Here are the before and After....what do you think?
BEFORE: bloodshed Red
AFTER: Marongold by Sherwin Williams
I will have a tutorial soon, on how to get that perfect edge between two colors when painting...and PS, it has nothing to do with tape!
