More help needed on my office makeover
Ok, so yesterday I asked for help choosing a paint color .
>My favorite is “B”, but after my mom came by today to take a look,
I think I may need something just a little lighter, and a few
people emailed me with some other color names to try.
So I’ll keep you posted on that front.
Now to show you the lovely pink room I’m moving into,
the room only has one window but get’s a good amount of light
it faces South East.
I’m hoping to paint the existing trim a creamy white.
Now I also need help with my furniture.
Here are our desks
YES, I have a LOT of crap in there! LOL
The Bug Man has his own business (Pest Control).
So the small metal desk is the appointment desk.
It’s a metal desk – I’d LOVE to find a neat table or other desk eventually.
In the mean time, can I paint metal? – I also have 2 metal file cabinets
The LONG desk is the computer desk.
Both of those computers are getting old, and hopefully one will be updated sometime soon.
I LOVE the space, so I plan to keep this desk,
it’s actually 4 pieces – 2 tops, 2 bottoms
I think I should paint them as well
Creamy white or black?
do I paint the top or just the bottom/sides?
I plan to start collecting some great accessories, boxes, containers,
get rid of the big stereo, new lamps
This all may take a while, but I’d love some suggestions!!

You can paint metal – they make a special primer for it. 🙂

I think I like A it seems brighter and yes you can paint metal. i would go creamy white to brighten and match the trim. Wow..you are doing alot of projects.

I love the “B” color, and I would prefer black for my desks, etc. because my white desk always has little scuff marks, etc. that show and look messy. My messes are better camouflaged on black. I would paint as many as possible of your small pieces of furniture to match- if there aren’t so many colors of finishes I think it tends to look less cluttered. I would also look for some coordinating canvas storage boxes and containers to pull the look together and organize the small stuff. I will look forward to seeing how it turns out!

Always choose a little lighter shade than you would like to see in the end because larger masses of colour will look darker anyway. I dig the blue with any combo of cream and/or black.

This is a tough one. I like them both. But I am going to have to go with A. As for painting metal..yes you can. Can’t wait to see the end project!
