Congrats on your score! As for the top two color swatches, we don't remember at all, but you might want to try Benjamin Moore's Quiet moments because it's a light gray-blue. Good luck! xo, s

My comment is a little late to this post but I actually just scored the same exact bookshelf at a garage sale for $15!!! So of course, I came to your blog for inspiration :) Do you guys remember the names of the top two color swatches? I'm going for a very light gray/blue-ish color. Thanks so much...love your blog...completely obsessed :) Hi John and Sherry!!

I can't get enough of it. Quick question, when painting furniture do you use a brush or a sprayer? I am so inspired by your ideas. I have an old dining room table/chairs and side board. I would like to paint them a cream or black. The existing finish is a glossy dark wood. Can I paint the table top, will it leave brush strokes? How would I go about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much :). ~Therese First, I love, love, love your blog! I can’t get enough of it.

I love your home & thanks for all the decorating tips. With your tutorial I now have the guts to paint an unfinished pine cabinet that's been staring me down for the last, oh 4 years or so.

We'd give it at least 24 hours before the polycrylic. And after the poly, don't forget to give it a looooong time before placing anything on it... just to be safe. You also could skip the poly step altogether (as long as you used semi-gloss or gloss paint it should be pretty protected). Hope it helps! xo, s

You have great ideas! I recently painted a Goodwill find using kilz primer and semi-gloss paint. How long should I wait before I apply a polycrylic finish? Thanks in advance .
