I used Oyster Pearl from the Clark and Kensington Paint and Primer in One Satin Enamel for my guest bathroom makeover!
Hi friends! I've finished my first painting project of the year. That didn't take long, did it?
When we bought our house almost two years ago, every single room, including the garage, was painted builder's beige. And honestly, I don't mind beige. I picked it for the main living area in my old house. But this beige was a little too orange-y for me, so I set out to paint every room.
In 23 months, I've painted all but three rooms in this house. Those rooms are the two guest bedrooms and the second bath. But that all changed this week when I gave the bathroom a fresh coat of paint!
I went to Ace Hardware and picked out the color Oyster Pearl in the Clark+Kensington Paint and Primer in One Satin Enamel. {I was so ready to get rid of the flat paint in there!} The paint went on smoothly and covered well. I did two coats, but I always do two coats, no matter what.
I already had my shower curtain for inspiration. I want to bring in some pops of color like yellow, pink, and maybe red. So I decided to keep the background pretty neutral. I love grays, so Oyster Pearl looked like a great gray for this space.
When I started painting, it looked very blue to me. But I've learned from painting my other rooms that when you paint over beige, grays tend to look super blue until all of the beige is covered. So I kept painting. Once it was all painted and dry, it definitely has some blue undertones, and I am digging that. {You can't really see the blue on screen, but you can definitely see it in person.}
I really love the color, and I love it paired with my pretty shower curtain.
I can't wait to share the rest of the room soon! I was playing with a yellow vase I have and some other decor items. I also have some old prints from my great-grandmother's house that I'm going to frame and hang. Eeek! Another room is coming together!
