I'm impatient too! Not sure if we will have enough left over. It may work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-nursery-walls-navywhat-about-the-closet#post-1086405 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 20:25:58 +0000 ladybee 1086405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: is it the inside of the closet? Will it have doors? I'd probably just use the trim paint honestly but I'm impatient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-nursery-walls-navywhat-about-the-closet#post-1086385 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 20:00:40 +0000 Ash 1086385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>White. 100%. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-nursery-walls-navywhat-about-the-closet#post-1086383 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 19:58:27 +0000 artsyfartsy 1086383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: Probably. That's the only walls we will be painting white. We have a whole gallon of white that's made just for the trim and doors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-nursery-walls-navywhat-about-the-closet#post-1086353 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 19:35:02 +0000 ladybee 1086353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: you could just a quart?? I think white is the way to go but I understand just wanting to move forward. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-nursery-walls-navywhat-about-the-closet#post-1086325 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 19:02:11 +0000 artsyfartsy 1086325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks like I will just have to talk DH into making another trip to Lowes. I know he will be thrilled. But I think you all are right! White it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-nursery-walls-navywhat-about-the-closet#post-1086319 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:55:07 +0000 artsyfartsy 1086319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Thanks! I'll see what DH wants to do (he's a "lets just do it and be done" kind of person) and Ill let you know!</p> <p>@Cole: That's what I thought. White would be more convenient in the long run. I'll definitely post pictures when it's done! I've got major plans in store. Decorating and planning is kind of my thing. It'll probably be a couple of months...money is tight so we have to buy things for the nursery one at a time. Furniture is next! Wee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-nursery-walls-navywhat-about-the-closet#post-1086316 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:53:26 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1086316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the camp that closets should always be white--that way the clothes don't get thrown off by any wall colors! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-nursery-walls-navywhat-about-the-closet#post-1086313 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:52:10 +0000 Cole 1086313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This really might not work but could you mix some of your white in with the navy to lighten it up? I would think a navy closet might make it harder to see things especially for early mornings. </p> <p>Another thought that might make it worth doing the white or another light color is I would imagine you will want to paint the room at some point and the closet might not need a new coat. </p> <p>I would love to see pictures of the room when you are done! I love navy rooms, our room is navy and it makes me so happy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-nursery-walls-navywhat-about-the-closet#post-1086311 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:51:37 +0000 Mae 1086311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: I did a cool stencil in my loft just by cutting a circle out of cardboard and tracing it on the wall. Took kind of a while but it looks amazing! PM me if you want the link to my blog (I don't know that I am allowed to post the link here or if thats self promotion or whatever) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-nursery-walls-navywhat-about-the-closet#post-1086310 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:50:12 +0000 artsyfartsy 1086310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: That's a good idea! I'm an artist so maybe I could do a design in his closet...just for fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-nursery-walls-navywhat-about-the-closet#post-1086308 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:49:16 +0000 Mae 1086308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess red isn't really any lighter than navy and that might be a little scary in a closet haha. I'd just go with white then! If you want to get fancy with it, maybe a navy stencil over the white? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-nursery-walls-navywhat-about-the-closet#post-1086305 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:47:08 +0000 artsyfartsy 1086305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Red white and navy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-nursery-walls-navywhat-about-the-closet#post-1086301 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:44:48 +0000 Mae 1086301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe a lighter accent color? What other colors are you using in the room? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-nursery-walls-navywhat-about-the-closet#post-1086295 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:43:06 +0000 artsyfartsy 1086295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are finally about to start on T's nursery! Bought our paint yesterday and we are going to paint on Sunday. We are painting his walls navy and the trim white. We had already decided we were going to paint the closet navy as well...but now that I think about it, it might not look that great. It's a tiny closet.</p> <p>I thought about painting it white but that means we would need to get more paint, because the white we have is specifically designed for trim and such, not walls, and I'm ready to be in and out on painting in one day. We don't have a spare second this weekend except for Sunday to paint and it will likely take all day since we are painting the trim and doors too.</p> <p>We aren't planning on selling anytime soon, so I'm not concerned about market value. Just whether or not I would regret painting a small closet navy! This seems like a silly question, i know, but where else do I turn to but my fellow bees for advice? WWYD? </p>
