Now that I have the keys to my new space (woo hoo!), the task of putting a fresh coat of paint on those walls is at hand. I want the walls to have a gallery feel to them...clean, fresh, with the focus being on the large gallery prints hanging up and the beautiful window light. But, there is no such thing as just plain white. Did you know how many variations on white there are out there? Thankfully, I'm one who appreciates creative names, so here are some that I took note of in my search:
vanilla custard, beach basket, mocha white, whipped white, bleached stone, vital spark, white crystal, white wedding, soap bubbles, clam island, man in the moon, symphony white, vermont snow...wow, the list goes on and I admit that I did get attached to the idea of painting my walls with mocha white, but I decided on clean & crisp.
I have a fresh roll of blue tape and even a brand new drop cloth, so I'm ready to go! I better get my iPod ready, too :)
By the way, did you know that an IKEA is coming to Charlotte in the spring of 2009? I'm waiting for my office furniture to ship from the DC location and was dreaming of how much fun it would be if I could just hop right over to Charlotte and get everything now. Oh, well! Happy painting!
