Happy Monday everyone! I mentioned that I have been “shopping” around here on the property for old wood and had found some tongue and groove boards I wanted to use.
My wonderful husband cut them to size for me and we worked on this little bathroom project Friday, then I had some staining and painting to do to get it finished which turned into more painting. You’re getting a sneak peek at the ruffled shower curtain I made too…
I am so in love with this color, that seems to be everywhere in the old house, that I took one of the boards to Walmart (it’s the only thing close) and actually found the exact color. What are the chances of that? It’s kind of between gray, green and blue. It’s a Walmart Colorplace paint and oddly enough called, “Grand Smoky Mountain.” Considering where we live, that works for me. These boards are around 100 years old, and have not been repainted at all so I am really excited to have a historical color to use. I did not paint these boards, but am using them in their “reclaimed” state. I did, however buy a gallon of the paint to use as I think I have found the color to paint over the white trim and french doors.
Stay tuned for the whole bath makeover…
