Welcome once again to Transformation Thursday! It's the one day of the week we all get together to celebrate getting stuff done. No matter if you've been coming around for quite a while or this is your first time, everyone is welcome to share their projects, big or small. Just link up at the bottom of this post.

Dutch Boy paints recently contacted me to ask if I'd review their Refresh new paint. Me? Review paint? Oh yea, babe! First, they sent me a fan deck - which alone was enough to make me jump for joy. What a great tool to have for choosing colors, as well as taking to help choose fabrics. (Insert squeal here!)
So I chose two colors - Ultra White (because white goes with EVERYTHING in my world) and the bestest, most lucious beachy-robin's eggy-"Just Gina" color - Hawaiian Sky. L.O.V.E.
I knew my bedroom needed a new coat of paint. In my "before being design conscious" days, I painted a wide band of dark tan at the top of our room. Now I know it was the worst thing I could have done. Lesson learned. I've finally started painting, a little here, a little there and I'm working on it day by day. Since the Refresh paint has Arm & Hammer baking soda mixed right in, there is no lingering odor. It's no big deal if I paint for an hour, then clean up and get back to work - I can still sleep that night without waking up high on fumes :)
All in all, I love this paint! Great coverage, no harsh odor, and the color is amazing! Ummm... I'm still not finished, if anyone wants to come over and give me a hand.... Maybe soon I'll get it finished, and reveal the whole room :)

Hey Gina! Thanks for hosting such a great party and allowing me to share my Fall kitchen decor! It's fun to be back in blogland, participating in such fun get togethers! I LOVE the shade of blue you chose and can't wait to see your finished product! I'm off to drool over all of the inspiring projects that your "fans" have shared, too. Take care, Becca (Adventures in Decorating)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you like the paint. They contacted me too, and I just got my fan deck. So many fabulous colors to choose from, I'm having a hard time. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm back again because I forgot (*hangs head in shame*) to Follow you last tine I was here.
ReplyDeleteI had a cold sweat moment when I realised. I hope it didn't appear rude. Anyway, all manners have now been corrected. I'm your four millionth folower. ;-)
