As you know, the playroom is becoming the ‘big boy’ bedroom so the blue had to go
I really didn’t care for the blue and being presented with another bright color for the space really had me second guessing myself in allowing my son to choose his own color for the room. I tried to talk him out of green by saying a dark blue would be cool, but he stood his ground. Green was the color he wanted and green was the color he got. I really hate that it had to be lime green though….
The color is Behr ‘Scotland Isle’ from Home Depot. It took two coats of this paint to get the room to look like the paint chip. The blue used in the playroom was by Sherwin Williams and only took one coat AND it went on like ‘Butta’! EVERY. TIME. I. TRY . TO . SAVE. A. LITTLE. MONEY. ON. PAINT, I end up spending the same amount that I would have spent by going to SW. So right now today I say to you: I’m NEVER skimping on paint again.
I will have to get you a better picture because the color is actually nice. I don’t plan on using another color this bright in my house again, but it is a nice color!
What do you think? Is it close enough to the inspiration?
Next up….Shipping palettes!

consider it a score for your newest interior designer in the house, tj!
I kinda like that green, TJ made a great choice.
Very close and I love a nice bright green!! Great job TJ, and yes, skimping on paint quality usually means more time spent painting! I am really looking forward to seeing the progress of the palettes!

He made a great choice! Very close to the inspiration room! Can't wait to see the palette project!
I like the color..but then again..I love green. If you find it is too bright you could always add wider stripes in a more toned down green that coordinates with the color you have now. I did this in our nursery years ago and it worked. Once you start getting the design going though you may feel it's not needed. I love the pallet idea!! Enjoy your day
Defo a great colour choice for a kids room! Thanks for sharing!
I like the color! very fun -- much better than boring blue walls! :)
Love that green..but you know I love green walls right. I cant wait to see what you do with the palets. I have two in my garage. My hubby uses them to workout with though...wahhh wahhh

I love it!! What a bright cheery color. The pallette headboard is absotutely charming as well.
I'm new to your blog and just love the room for your son. I wholeheartedly agree that paint matters. Pay once and get it right or you just do more work in the end. The colour your son picked is great and I'll be back to see what you create with those palettes. I have a son who might love that!!
