The Glidden Paint freebie?
Permalink  
 


Did everyone get your paint?

If so, have you used it?

What color did you get?

What did you think?



I just used the Deepest Aqua color to repaint our master bathroom. It's brighter than I was expecting, once it was on a full set of walls, with lights on... but I was surprised with how well it covered. Our bathroom walls were originally a deep, deep army green, and it covered REALLY well in one coat (enough that I'll just put a second coat on the edging and not be immediately worrying about giving it a second coat)

I also had some sent to Joe at his office, but I haven't used that (it's going in Hannah's bathroom on the main floor.

I did but completely forgot the name of the color.  I can't get Mike to paint and I can't paint right now so it's just sitting in it's box.  It was a light maroon color. 

How big is your bathroom?  I'm hoping it will be enough to do our bathroom too.  It's only a powder room so it's really small. 

YGG for getting the br painted by yourself!!

Di, my bathroom is smallllll. Idk exactly how big but it's pretty square, and is exactly as wide as the shower (which is standard size).

We have wainscoting on the bottom half of the walls, so I only had to paint the upper portions. Anyways, I only used about 1/3 of the can... probably even a bit less than that.

I'll take pictures once it isn't in complete disarray. I actually painted with laundry on the floor and everything. :blush When I decide to do something, I have to do it before all the motivation goes out the window.

LMAO!  I'm the exact same way!  I'll want to plan and plan and plan... and in the middle of the planning, I usually just get up to get it started.  And then I can't stop until it's finished.

Here's a before of our bathroom...



And the after (just redecorated with a few things we already had in the house that we weren't using. I was quite excited to find that the shower curtain we had in the basement was a pretty good match, lol.)

I got mine. I wish I had thought to order another one and have it sent to my mom's. I got fresh grass green. I haven't used it yet, but I'm planning on using it in a small hallway outside our kitchen. If I like it, I'm going to get more and use it in the kitchen as well. I'm glad to hear that it covers well. I was worried about that b/c our kitchen is a dark copper color. Hope it covers over that. Guess I'll test a small portion and see...
