I posted about this and received varying comments, but everyone suggested I paint them white....
Here is what I started out with before the decluttering and tidy up....
Bad light was a big problem...but the tidy up helped for the time being
I decided to use a little of my chosen bedroom wall color, Wattyl Inner Peace, and added it to Dulux White on White. This is after I had finished the pine bookcase - it needed less coats than the older piece which needed four plus undercoat.
Wattyl Inner Peace - love that name
A small amount of the books awaiting the new look
I put up this cheap light shade to lighten the space for a temporary fix as I already had it lying around
Getting there....
The space is light and fresher already...
It appears french grey in color at night when its darker in the space
Im really pleased with the results. Though the pictures dont do it justice, the space is much more up to date and more what I was wanting. Just need a camera to show it all better! This took me a lot longer to do than I anticipated, so was very happy to have it done, and another project off the list.....
Thank you for your lovely comments recently, I love them all. My son Dylan was very surprised by all of the birthday wishes, and says thank you.
