Title: painted walls
Post by: gene on May 19, 2016, 06:58:35 pm
I have always painted the walls of my upholstery palace off white. I'm thinking this time maybe a light green hue, or ???

Anyone find a particular color goes well with pulling staples out of furniture?

I wish I could see the walls in my shop because of all the crap hanging there.  The places I can see would be painted with an artists brush -

My S&S room is painted Champaigne (spelled wrong I know).  It's a very soft, soothing pink.  Not girly girl at all.  Keeps me from throwing tools at the walls when I get po'd.  I wouldn't change it for anything.

All I can say if you are trying to match colors on wood trim, go with white (or work outside)

In my shop, the cheapest paint I can get my hands on. And plenty of lights for pulling staples. Like Steve there is barely a place where you can even see the wall.
