I cleaned out the garage over Labor Day weekend and found this shelf. It was ironic because I was just thinking I wish I had a shelf for my boys room. I debated on color. The main color of the boys room is baby blue. So, I considered painting it baby blue. However, I want it to fit the boys as they grow a little too. So I chose this color.
Ok guys be honest. I need your help. Is it too crazy? This is an "after" I am just not sure about. I am thinking of re-painting it green or white. I'm not sure if I like how it works with the rest of the room. It might be too soon to say. I still have more art to create and more of this bright blue accent to incorporate into other areas of the room. Maybe still a bright blue but a little more green or muted and less purple? Help!

It's a little... um, vibrant for my taste, and also for the items sitting on it, in my opinion. I like the bold color, but might do something to mute it a bit... a glaze or something? I don't know.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Valerie. I think your right. Blue is not bad. It's just the wrong blue. I just went and bought a different shade. It's similar but a little more muted. Wish me luck. I'll post pics after it's done, of course!
ReplyDeleteI like the color itself! I think you're right; it's the surroundings that are making it weird. I'm excited to see your new hue!
ReplyDeleteI like the blue, but it needs some dimension. The cute drawer pulls blend in and you can't see the other details.
ReplyDeleteStacee,
ReplyDeleteThat bothers me a little too. I almost like how the knobs stand out more in the "before". One reason it might seem so flat is that super flat paint. The new paint I chose is glossy. I hope it will add a little dimension.
Here's a picture of the new color.
ReplyDeleteHi, what a cute little vignette you have on that little shelf! nice job!
