We’re back with the after pics of our freshly painted built-ins. As we mentioned in the last post, we went with an inky blue color with hints of eco-friendly called Dragonfly from Benjamin Moore’s Affinity line (color matched to Lowe’s No-VOC Olympic paint for the bambino). We only needed a quart, as well as since we utilized objects that we already had on the shelves this entire built-in makeover only ran us $10.97. You can checked out more about exactly how we organized the shelf placement here. Oh as well as here’s a poorly lit development pic from last night, just for fun. indeed John’s shirt does state “Talk Nerdy To Me” on the back. I like it.
But here’s what you truly care about. The bookcases all painted! photo us twiddling our thumbs while we waited for them to completely dry so we might put the shelves back on as well as tons them up.
Our preferred Videos
Of program by then it wasn’t as bright in our north dealing with space (hence the slight color variation from the last pic) however we like it. It’s strong as well as high contrast as well as nothing that we would’ve have the digestive tracts to perform in our last house.
We’re enamored with the color since it’s super moody as well as it reads as greener or bluer or darker or lighter depending upon the time of day as well as the angle that you glimpse at it.
And of program all of my white ceramic animals (and other not-kid-friendly-so-I’m-glad-they-fit-up-there treasures) truly pop against the saturated background color (which likewise makes the cupboards look crisper as well as whiter by comparison).
These two pics are most likely the most true to life when it comes to the color (but of program exactly how you see them truly depends upon your monitor):
Mr. Rhino (and his ceramic twin on the other side) likey. as well as we do too. particularly for under $11. In truth we like the color so much that we plan to work it into other parts of the home when we can (you know, to try to keep our whole home color plan cohesive however not as well “yawn”). We’re believing it may be the perfect color for the base of the future island that we’d like to someday add to our kitchen area – as well as would even work on a bathroom vanity. should be fun…
Psst- discover exactly how we made those two material covered boxes on the right side of the shelf here.
