Bathroom, Hall, Kitchen Repaint

This week we are painting a bathroom, hallway, and kitchen.  In doing this remodel, we are making a custom color to match the  bathroom tile, vanity and fixtures.  This custom color will be used in the hallway and kitchen to give  the home a feeling of continuity.  A continuous wall color throughout the living area will create an warm and spacious feeling


This is the procedure we will use to create an inviting atmosphere.
  • A custom color will be made for the bathroom and hall using one gallon of an earth tone color and two gallons of white eggshell.  The main color is being lightened  because it was too dark. 
  • The ceiling color will be 25 percent of the wall formula color.
  • The same formula with be used for the kitchen, except it will be lightened.  This particular kitchen needs more light.
  • The casings and doors will be stained to match the existing kitchen cabinets.  
  • The existing metal doors (a bathroom and the outside kitchen door) will be wood grained to match the kitchen cabinets. 
  • The new wood doors that will be stained and finished to match the kitchen cabinets.
