I have a trim question for you – we just bought a house with wood trim that we’re planning to paint. Our house also has wooden windows. Did you paint your windows as well, or just the trim around them? I’m worried about the paint mucking up the sliding mechanism.

I paint the windows too. Thin, even coats are key — it’s when the paint gets glopped on that it really causes problems.

I’ll be honest, I actually love to paint! And whats even better is how much of a change it can create in a space for little $. Can’t wait to see your office when its done!

Looks great so far! Is that grey wall paint I see??
Making it Lovely
It’s a really pretty gray/green/blueish color!
Lisa
I can’t wait to see what color you used!

The sneak peek of new wall color is really tantalizing – I think I love it, but will hold my crazy applause for the final triumphant reveal…

Where are the lamps in your office from? I love them!
Making it Lovely
They were from Crate & Barrel.

Looks great! I love white trim, and I’d really love to find the strength to paint all the trim in my house white. But it’s so extensive that I just can’t bring myself to do it! Sad, but true.

It’s hard work, but It will pay off in the end!

Ooh white trim – it one of those things that just looks good in every space. Can you share what kind of primer or paint you are using?
Making it Lovely
I used Zinsser primer (we already had it on hand), and HGTV Home paint from Sherwin Williams (flat for the walls, semi-gloss for the trim).

The second half of that sentence has to be the best sentence of all time. I’m tempted to buy sparkly hot pants just so I can use it.

Please share what colour you painted your office. It looks like the perfect colour I have been looking for my bedroom.
Making it Lovely
It’s Contented, from the HGTV Home line at Sherwin Williams.

Ooo! It’s looking so good! Can’t wait to see the finished result.

Looking good! I see a stained wood door there…we have an old house with wood trim, too. I have started painting the trim white but have kept the doors stained. What is your thought on that??!!
Making it Lovely
I’ve seen a lot of people leaving the doors stained, or even painted a different color, and it looks nice. I’m not sure what I’ll be doing yet with mine though.

Oh, I can’t wait to see it when it’s all done! We spent last Fourth of July painting our bedroom. It took all weekend, but it was so worth it!
Amy Kelly
Oh my gosh, this peek is so exciting! I’m loving what I can see of the new color on your walls and can’t wait to see the finished space.
Elisa @ What the Vita
Looks great already. White trim just makes every room look NEW!
