Or just some sort of styrofoam. As long as you don't do heavy coats the styrofoam will hold up (spray paint eats the foam!). I upcycle jewelry boxes and trust me, all those teeny tiny screws are a pain! But this trick saves a ton of time and keeps all those small parts in place! <br />Love your entry DeeDee!!!

I think I'd choose the lightest shade in the floor and paint it that color...then the walls in an even lighter shade of that color (if it doesn't blend with the pale grey you already have). As for the hardware on the door...it's good that it matches the front door, but what about painting the door and the hardware the same shade of the walls--so that it 'disappears' into the wall? <br /><br />PS: I love the floor! I want something like that in my bedrooms, but never seem to have the money and energy at the same time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04646738184935683943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160261824189693991.post-3002710883187777212017-08-22T16:33:41.167-05:002017-08-22T16:33:41.167-05:00Thanks so much Donna!
