Polka Dot Walls

Sunday, November 10, 2013


The wall was Sherwin Williams thunder gray (no photo). Then I accidentally painted it Behr Pewter Mug (before photo).  I say accidentally because I thought this was a gray I had bought and forgotten about, but actually, it was a gallon of paint left over from the previous owners. It went on gray, but dried with a very slight purple hue. So today, on a whim, I painted dots of light gray and a few gold highlights. I like it for short term winter fun. But I'm sure I'll paint it come January. Now it looks a little like Christmas wrapping paper. But it only took me an hour and I loved free-handing it so it was good practice. I think later I'm going to go all Robert Motherwell on that wall. I'm just elated that I have that wall to play with.
