I realized that I hadn’t shared my specific color pallete for this project. I thought that since I’m getting started on painting today it would be a good day to do that.
The creamy white, which looks more white than the creamy color it shows here once is is on a larger surface and from a distance, is the color my cabinets are going to be. The sagey gray-green is going on the walls and the gray wood is the floor (again, the color is a little off and it really is a little more gray).
It was seeing this color and floor combination in a random photo that popped up on my FB feed a while ago that really kick started the more specific plans for this room. Until then, I didn’t have a direction I wanted to go, so hadn’t been making any kind of progress. It figures that what I needed to get it going was some color.
I’ll be covering and taping off the lights and spraying the ceiling today. It is going to be a straight up basic white to help keep the room bright. My goal is to get that done, get the small lights in place so they aren’t hanging anymore and then to start on any fixing/repairs that need to be done on the walls and doors today. How much I get done really depends on how many issues I find and how much work it is going to take to fix them.
And as I sit here writing this, I just realized that I’ve got a huge problem I need to try and solve. I have no way to block my cats from this room unless I lock them in another room again, which they did NOT appreciate. When I go to paint the cabinets and to some extent the walls, they are going to need to be out of there until the paint dries. I don’t want cat fur embedded in my paint and I REALLY don’t want to have to figure out how to get paint off a cat.
It is my hope that I can get the painting done so that I can start on the floor by the end of the weekend. I’m apparently going to have to spend some of that time brainstorming what to do with the furry monsters.
TJ Fox: Sharing the Experience 
Loving the color combo, it is going to look great. Is there a way you can keep the cats upstairs without locking them in a room? My cat never really cared about painting, although my dog insisted on being right next to me at all times.

I could have before we moved the basement door, but now I dont have a way to really block it off. You have made me think, though so I might have to get creative.

Oh and they will definitely be a problem as they both came to investigate when I started the ceiling.

Cat fur as wall texture could be interesting I suppose 🙂

Oh, I’m sure it would be interesting. Gross, but interesting. Especially since our one kitty will climb in the litter box and roll around. So much gross!

If it comes out even half as good as I hope, it is going to look amazing! I really debated the floor because it isn’t like anything else in the house, but I just loved it so much I didn’t care. We have zero plans to ever leave this house, so it doesn’t matter to resale. And “Oh, well!” even if we did.
