1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Theres something about picking interior paint colors that I absolutely hate. Why cant it be like it is for cars? Red, Green or Blue. Pick one and go with it.

 

White is right

 

what's stopping you besides social norms?

 

Mother fucker

 

Spend some time in the rural southeast?

Social Norms.

The trend is grey. Except theres only 10 million shades of grey to pick from.

 

that's my lease favorite part about it, too. You want a light green or something but turns out there are a thousand light greens to pick from. Do I go with a Muted Sage, Half Dead Lawn or Grandma's Forbidden Apple Green, they all look the fucking same

 

not to be too cliche but I'm going to foist my unsolicited advice upon you now.
I'd pick like 3 shades of light grey with a blueish hue, lighter than you'd think you'd like, and try them on your walls.
pick the best of the 3 and move on.


If you'd like you can add an accent wall, yellow, darker blue, darker gray, green, and red will all pair well

 

Just go all Jackson Pollock on every room in the house

 

I used to paint interiors full time and everything got painted Killum Beige or swiss coffee beige but that trend is 10+ years old now

 

What are you. A rental landlord?

 

GAH

worst moment in the shop

 

obviously not, he'd have recommended killum beige or swiss coffee beige

 

Im thinking Adam & Eves forbidden fruit green.

Im leaning towards grey with green tint, versus green with grey tint. There is a difference...

 

go back to church, grandpa

 

valid, do you have a paint brand picked outt?

the best advice I can give is just put as many samples as you think you'd like on the wall and see what they look like morning/day/night with the lighting they get

 

Benjamin Moore since the store that carried it had the most educated/helpful employees versus SW or the big box stores. Just deciding what grade of paint to go with.

I think Ive decided in the colors for the spare room that Im remodeling and the hallway, gonna leave the samples up for a few weeks before I pull the trigger.

 

Awesome, sounds like a good plan to me

Do you have a lot left to do remodel wise?

 

Need to wire up one more light fixture and relocate a few switches. Pull a bit more trim then the drywall guy comes in two weeks. After that paint walls, redo trim and doors then its done.

 

Is work work MIG oriented or do you have other processes for backups?

Annoying af problem tho
