Painting the Bungalow – We’ve got a body color!
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009
- bye-bye baby blue!
Last night we put up test patches of both Caponata and Wenge. The Wenge looked fine – I can’t say I had any complaints - but we both really loved the Caponata (even from across the street, which is the true test, I think!)
So, it seems we’ve settled on a non-authentic bungalow body color! Since the depth of color is similar to the dark stain on Craftsman Farms, we’re viewing this as ”a modern interpretation of the Craftsman Aesthetic” with apologies to purists everywhere.
- great coverage for a first coat!
I planned to post a photo of both test patches for your viewing pleasure, but Mr. Bungalow Insanity painted over them before I had chance. We’ve got no idea what we’re doing for trim and accent colors yet, so you’ll just have to stay tuned…
