Today (27Dec09), we are finally done repainting our room. Hubby and I were just supposed to look for a new plain paint to replace our room's paint color, but as we were roaming around the paint store the other day, we saw a sample painted wall. It looked like paint was sponged on the wall, and we thought we'd try it to our room too. So we ended up buying 2 different paint colors instead of just one as originally planned. And, yesterday we started repainting...errrr..sponging our room with paint.
On the base paint which is a dirty white, we applied/sponged Elmo's Fire color. It's like a red orange color, but Ace paints termed it as Elmo's Fire. Then, we applied the second color which is the Honey Pot, it's a light yellow color. After we have applied both colors here's how our wall looked like:
Then, hubby and I thought we messed up, coz it didn't look like the one we saw at the store...so we decided to add another color. He went to buy a light blue color to sponge over the red and yellow colors we have already applied, and it turned out this way:
The funny thing after we have applied the third color was that hubby and I thought having only the red and yellow color was better than with the blue color...and then, after looking at the room again and again we both told each other that the room just looked good with the sponged paint...lol.
The kids are actually happy with the new paint color we have coz they joined in painting the room. The room now looks more like a play room than a bedroom with its paint...still we all love it. The sponged paint looks like a wallpaper rather than a paint which makes it beautiful to look at now. And I guess, it's the joy of working together that made the room more beautiful than its paint.
(One corner of the room at Jacq's bed - the upper deck of the kids' double deck bed.)
