Painter's Tape Blue vs. Suede Desert Plateau
A new house, a new canvas! Upon moving into our new house we made a list of all the things that we wanted to do- luckily with a house as complete as this one the list is short! At the top was painting the den (see the before- painter's tape blue). Don't get me wrong I like blue, but this was just a little too much blue.
So, being that I am ambitious and somewhat impatient I decided to "surprise" Cyrus with a newly painted den when he returned from his backpacking trip, 3 weeks after we moved in. So, first I convinced/coaxed/coerced my best friend, B, into helping me paint 2 coats of primer and then "finish" off with 2 more coats of suede paint. (A note for those of you have never painted with suede paint- you have to have patience, oh and a ton of time!) After a number of nights and our entire weekend the painting was finally finished. Now we have a somewhat western den, representative of Cyrus's love of the outdoors and my desire to have a restful place to create the plans for our next projects.
