Sposor




Please welcome the newest LOM Sponsor - Power Supplements featuring
what has been called one of the healthiest foods in the planet, the Acai berry
(my dad has been taking it since we lived in Rio in the 90's).

Acai (pronounced ( ah-sigh-EE ) is a fruit that grows on the Acai Palm Trees in the Amazon
Rainforest of Brazil. The Acai berry is small in size (smaller than a grape) and is dark
purple
in color. Acai is mostly seed, covered in a small amount of pulp. In fact, about 90%
of the Acai berry is seed. While Acai may be small in size, it packs a nutritional punch
unlike any other food in the world.

Chevron Wall Part 1 - Colors

Many of you had asked about the colors I used on my chevron wall. The main color
(the color we picked when the house was under construction) is Sherwin Williams
Amazing Gray
.

For the accent color we chose Glidden's Smooth Stone. This is the second time we've
used this color combo. Last year we painted some stripes on our dining room wall
and used the same colors.

Brad did three coats & that was enough to get the perfect color. We thought some of the
dry wall/paint would come off with the tape since it took a while to finish painting each
coat but we had no problems. I recommend always paying a little extra for good painters
tape. It's worth it, the touch ups are always much less.

* The colors are in gray family rather than on the beige. I know it's hard to
tell from the pictures.

First, I want to start my welcoming all of the new readers to my blog, thank you
for stopping by - I hope you stick around! Second, I'm so happy with the chevron
wall response. Thank you for all of your kind comments & emails. Many have asked me
about the paint colors I used & the technique. I'm preparing a post for Monday so stay
tuned. Also, some of you have asked for a tutorial. I've asked Brad to write one up & it
will be available next week as well.

If you have any other questions you would like to ask me,

I showed you the before on Monday, well here is the after. It took Brad hours just
to do the taping, he was done in two nights & he finished painting (three coats)
in one night. I think it looks fantastic, better than expected!
