Library room is painted!! Whoo Hoo!!!

Painting in my library is finished! Well almost - there are a few touch-ups of the trim that have to be done where I was a little bit sloppy and dripped a little of the wall colour on. But only a few. :-D

I put up my blind and the curtains and moved in one of my chairs to see how it looked - not bad. I also added an area rug I picked up at Canadian Tire tonight for 35.00. I think it looks ok - goes with the window treatments.

I won't have my bookcases until the end of the month, but I'm so glad the room is ready.

I'm doin' the happy dance tonight. :-D

Sooooooo...

Just to refresh your memory, here is what the room looked like before painting. The holes and cracks in the walls have been fixed and the holes in the woodwork have also been filled.


And here it is painted:


And with a little decorating:


And from the window looking the other way:



The trim is standard stuff - semi gloss latex enamel. The wall paint is FlexRock paint for walls and ceilings just rolled on with a standard roller in a suede finish. I really like the finish - it looks great! One thing though, I didn't prime paint because the can of FlexRock said it wasn't necessary. I will use the primer next time because as I was rolling the FlexRock on, it was lifting some of the fill compound right off. So the walls aren't as smooth as I'd like, but the finish is still very nice. I definitely will use this product again. It was a little more expensive than other paint, but I managed to do the whole room with one gallon and I think the result was worth the cost of the paint.

I can't wait to get my books in here!
