Paint and a question?

Well, I did it, I painted the boys room!!! 
(This is me patting myself on the back.) 
I must say that it turned out great with only one coat!
 I choose the color Dill Pickle by Benjamin Moore.
 I also want to say that I am not afraid of color,
 it really makes me happy, 
like smile on my face every time I think about it happy.
Now I know a color like this is not for everyone,
my hubby included, who may or may not have mentioned split pea soup, when he walked in the room after a long hard day at work.
In person and during the day it is not quite so neon though.
Back to the question...
 I was wondering what you guys do about the heating and cooling vents.
Do you paint them the same as the wall or leave them stock?





Here is the room that inspired the color choice.

And here are some fun fabrics that I found to help me get the designer look.

I think I will be ready for the big reveal in a week or so.
I don't think I can stand much more of the house being torn up in any case.
Let me know what you think about the vent if you have a second.
Thanks Friends!

  3. Like what Jan said, don't paint it with a different color. In our wall painting projects, we just left the vents alone. They look like an eyesore but she's right. I love the bold green color; it's almost the same as my daughter's bedroom wall color. Check it out at:

  7. Hi I've been looking for you! For some reason I couldn't find you until tonight. I'm following you now.

    That's a good question. About the vents. Don't have any vents in the walls. They are all in the ceiling. I think I have seen them painted the same as the wall color. Like in offices at work. Either way would work. I think so anyway. Hugs

  10. So cute! Can't wait to see the finished room! I always try to paint the vent covers, but I think it would look fine either way. If you paint it, though do very thin coats! I have had glopping issues before.

  16. Great color! I painted my last apartment in grass green and it was so bright & fresh. I don't think the vent looks bad unpainted but if you're itching to paint the thing, I painted right over my son's in the same navy blue as his walls. Took a few coats. The paint is stuck on there...isn't going anywhere. I used Ben Moore's Aura line. Looks like you've been a busy "bee." Ha! (Totally bad pun, I know!)
