    Painting the bookshelf…thingy

    Today, I woke up with an insane amount of energy and decided to rearrange the super hero’s bedroom, paint his bookshelf thingy, and build him a little desk. Since I primed it about a week ago,

    I managed to do the rearranging, painting and building all before breakfast.

    I used Mythic Black Label interior paint in the color foggy coast. It’s a really pretty warm toned grey. I don’t have a Mythic retailer in my area, so I ordered all of my colors online, sight unseen. While I was able to get what I wanted, your results may vary if you go the same route.

    The formula is very nice, and I got full opacity in 2 coats. There is almost no odor, and clean up is a breeze.

    I still need to go back and touch up the black paint, but I have to say that I looooove this color. I only did one coat of polyacrylic on top, so hopefully it’s enough.

    I’m debating whether or not I ought to do something to that giant square cutout, but right now, I am undecided.

    I guess that is all for now. Talk to you in the next one!
