So, today I cleared loads of stuff from the drum room/office, and prepped for painting a third wall. Quite a while back I’d painted two walls in a rich hue. But, rather idiotically, I’d forgotten to jot down the Valspar colour name.
Today’s first coat was done with a 25ml sampler pot, using Valspar French Mustard(!). I’d had to guess at the colour. But luckily, during a trip to Wisbech B&Q, I spotted the little sample swatch I thought I’d used previously. And it turned out to be a correct match. Phew!
After one coat, and having determined I’d chosen the matching colour, I popped back to B&Q for a 2.5l pot.
A second coat was definitely required. In places, a third will be needed.
I absolutely love this colour! Once this wall is done, I will prob complete one of the other walls; the wall with the window looking out into the back garden was only partially painted previously.
For now I’ll leave one wall white. If I didn’t, I think this already tiny room might feel even tinier.
I want a beautiful rug for the floor. The kit will sit on that. I wonder how I might a) afford the rug, and b) protect it from the drums and hardware.
