Library Progression

New Purdy Paintbrush with a new color of paint= exciting

Cutting in the corner and giving a wide margin to roll

Just like that, you have a freshly painted wall

Once again, the white looks so crisp against the color

Chases being built around wires to complete the look

Before and After

The library is coming right along.

On Saturday we had a long work day at the Inn. We have had the library all primed and ready for paint and we should have waited until they finished building the chases so we could prime and paint them at the same time but we (I) had to get color on those walls that we had stripped, re plastered, prepped, sanded, and primed just to feel a bit of progression.

We knew we wanted a brown for the library but had to find a color that would compliment the brick of the fireplace, tie into the green of the entry as well as the color of wood through the entry and library. The color is Glidden, Satin finish, creme brulee. It is warm without being too yellow or red and certainly not too dark but immediately makes the space feel cozier. The Maxwell Perkins library at Snapdragon Inn is beginning to emerge.

Note: Windsor Station Pub has THE BEST creme brulee around. So you can come to the Inn and sit in the library which will make you crave some and then meander down the street and have those cravings satisfied. Perfect!
