I decided that after living with the wonderful Palladium Blue by Benjamin Moore in our laundry room for almost six years, that it is time for an update.\u00a0 The laundry room sits at the end of our upstairs hallway and was actually the closet area of a large guest bedroom when we purchased our townhouse.\u00a0 It seemed like a whole lot of wasted space to me, and I asked our architect if we could put a laundry room there.\u00a0 Then I wouldn’t have to go all the way down to the basement every time I needed to wash a load of laundry or iron a shirt.\u00a0 We were able to add the room just by moving a door and adding a wall.\u00a0 Of course, all of that other stuff – plumbing, electrical, new cabinets, new floor, etc. –\u00a0 had to be done, too, but it was all so worth it since we were already remodeling the entire house anyway.\u00a0 Well, a few weeks ago, I spent a few hours changing the color.\u00a0 The hallway is Behr’s Cotton Grey, and I wanted the room to blend in more with it.\u00a0 I should add here that we buy all of our paint at Sherwin Williams, and if the paint color is by another company, they can still create it.\u00a0 All paint companies can do that.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Since this was a spur of the moment paint project, I just went to the basement to see which paints were on hand.\u00a0 I had a partial gallon of Cotton Grey and a partial gallon of Stucco with 50 per cent pigment. The Cotton Grey is in our foyer and upstairs hall, and the stucco is in our great room<\/a> and kitchen<\/a>. \u00a0 I mixed the two together and came up with a lovely neutral greige that works just fine.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

The laundry room is small, and I was able to paint the first coat one afternoon and follow up with the second coat the next morning.\u00a0 It looks so much brighter and blends in much better with our other rooms.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

This is what the room looked like before.\u00a0 There wasn’t a thing wrong with it other than I was ready for a change.\u00a0 I kept the accessories because I like them, and they have special meaning to me.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, that’s it.\u00a0 Less than a gallon of paint and a few hours, and our laundry room has a fresh, updated look.\u00a0 In a few days we are going to do a laundry tips post.\u00a0 Stay tuned for that.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
