Not long after I had painted the dining room a vibrant apple green in Spring, I was looking for a change. It’s probably because I had gotten so incredibly inspired by the gorgeous watery blues of the ocean so I wanted to try to recreate its look at home. Before doing the entire wall, I did a test spot and lived with it for a few days. I decided I liked it. One afternoon, I pulled everything back in the space, threw down the drop cloths, got out my paints, mixing bowls, sponges and a cookie sheet and went to town! It was a messy process but I love the end result!
