Painting the Studio


This is the start of week 4. The final paint is going on the walls and the finish work will be done on Wednesday. I went with Home & Hearth for the walls and Shredded Wheat for the ceiling and skylights. I was told many years ago (during a very stressful remodeling project) that if I want the ceiling to look the same color but not make the sky light wells look too dark, to use half the amount of base color in the paint. Same color but just a lighter tone. From the pictures and in person you can't tell (unless you look really hard) that the walls and ceiling are two different color. Makes the room look like there is a lot of natural sunlight coming in from somewhere. The floor will be a light gray epoxy finish and hopefully be done by the end of the week. The weather has been a little on the cool side so it will take a little longer to dry.

What does Mr. Purrcy think of all this commotion?

Purrcy is handling it all pretty well. As long as I don't go out there too many times. Lucy on the the other hand is now called "Bull Dog". She does not like all these guys hanging out on her tuff. She is too funny when she starts yelling at them right in the middle of everything. They always stop to stare at this little cat (most cats run away) looking like she is ready to rip their heads off. :)
