When we bought our place, it was in disrepair. Many of the color choices the previous owners either chose for carpet or paint were questionable at best. The more projects I take on the more I discover old wall paper just painted over without removing or priming.
One particularly bad room was painted purple. I have nothing wrong with the color purple, I'm just not so keen on bright purple walls in a room with dark green carpet and low light levels. And I'm really not a fan of horribly painted purple. Up until now, we've just used it as a store room but eventually, it'll be a workout room or an office depending on our needs.
Today, I decided to clean up that room because the cats have been up to no good in there and I wanted to see what I'd unearth by cleaning it up. Well, as I was cleaning it out, I decided that because it was partially empty, I would just go ahead and start painting it! So the first coat is up. It looks pretty bad right now, but anything is better than that ugly purple! Even if it is a buttery shade of white that my parents gave me (they gave us like 4 gallons of high quality paint they had used in their house).
There are still purple parts though: prior owners did not believe in taping off the trim so it's all purple in places AND the baseboards were completely painted purple... *UGH! So that'll be next up on the agenda after the room is fully painted.
