One Room Challenge Week 5: Hall Bath

One more week left in the One Room Challenge. I can hardly believe it. How have 5 weeks already gone by?

We didn’t get quite as far this week as I was hoping, but we still have one more week left to pull everything together thank goodness. This past week we primed (only one coat of primer and I wish I had done one more), painted the planks (2 coats of paint) and painted the walls (1 coat of paint). The planks may need one more coat of paint, I am waiting to see what they look like after they dry a bit more since I just did the latest coat tonight. The top portion of the walls definitely need one more coat of paint, but you can get the idea of the the finished color will look like. The first coat went up about two hours ago. Nothing like waiting until the last minute 🙂 It’s definitely still went in the pictures.

We did not go with the color we initially planned to for the top portion of the walls. Originally I wanted Silver Crest (Benjamin Moore). This is the color we painted our laundry room and it is very soothing and relaxing to me. It also feels very clean. After painting the planks Simply White, which is the same color we have painted all of our trim, and seeing how much that really brightened up the room Nathan wanted something darker, with more contrast on top. We ended up choosing Hale Navy (Benjamin Moore). Even though it definitely needs a second coat, we LOVE it. Just the white planks and blue walls together reads more nautical than what we care for, but once we get all of the fixtures and accessories in I hope it will have more of the feel we are going for.

We have a lot to finish in the next week. Fingers crossed we can knock it all out!
