One Unexpected Paint Color Brought This Forgotten Room Back to Life
""Other than central air being added at some point along the way, this room appears to have not been touched for quite some time," Brielle says. But, of course, old homes come with their quirks. "It has slanted ceilings, uneven floors, picture rail crown molding, attic door access, holes in the walls, and peeling windows," she says. Still, Brielle "immediately fell in love with all of its character and could not wait to transform it into [her] sanctuary.""
""I am a firm believer that the space around you dictates your creativity and well-being," Brielle says. "My highest priority was for the space to feel inspiring, energetic, and creative," she adds. To bring her vision to life, Brielle picked colors that energize her and could "immediately catapult [her] into a better mood." One of those mood-boosting colors for Brielle is green - specifically, Farrow & Ball's Yeabridge Green High Gloss."
The room retained slanted ceilings, uneven floors, picture rail crown molding, attic door access, holes in the walls, and peeling windows despite the later addition of central air. Bold color choices were used to energize the space, applying Farrow & Ball Yeabridge Green High Gloss to doors, windowsills, moldings, and the ceiling while painting walls in the creamy Au Lait to balance the intensity. The color placement highlights architectural details and aims to boost mood and creativity. The room was painted by a first-time full-room painter who consulted a local paint shop and achieved a professional-looking result despite admitting amateur-level execution.
