\"Most<\/a>

Most of the room is this color: Behr Ultra Premium Plus in a color called “Dry Pasture”.<\/p><\/div>\n

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day to paint a bedroom. Even though it’s mid-October, today Colorado Springs hit a high temperature of 87F, shattering the record for this date by FIVE DEGREES! We were able to open the windows and let the warm air quickly dry the walls and we were able to put both coats of color on the walls in about 4 hours.<\/p>\n

The colors we chose were ones that we already had from previous painting work. The greenish color is Behr’s Ultra Premium Plus “Dry Pasture<\/a>“, which we already have on our dining room and basement bathroom walls. We had a full can of Dry Pasture in the basement storage area, which ended up taking care of about 85% of what we needed. Isn’t it always like that? Dave ran to our local Home Depot and picked up another can while I worked on the corners and top edges.<\/p>\n

The wall behind the bed’s headboard was painted a color called “Ivory Lace<\/a>“, which is also a Behr color. \u00a0We didn’t need much of this color at all, we had most of a can from our basement painting work in 2013.<\/p>\n

\"Pardon<\/a>

Pardon the lighting, but you can see that we left one wall light: this is the wall that will be planked tomorrow. The color of this wall is meant to replicate the chinking<\/a> between logs on a log cabin.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

I was pretty worried at first at how thin-looking the first coat of paint looked. I stirred and stirred the paint, but worried that all the primer had stuck to the inside of the can. By the 2nd coat, however, all seemed well with the world<\/p>\n

I was taken aback at how thin the first coat of paint looked….<\/p><\/div>\n

…but the 2nd coat did a great job evening things out.<\/p><\/div>\n

Stay tuned! Tomorrow we attempt the faux-log planking!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
