April 2023 Color of the Month

Sherwin-Williams says their Color of the Month palette is a playful blend of the cozy-warm, welcoming vibe of a countryside cottage with a more thoughtfully refined sensibility. Capture the homey feel of a cottagecore look with comfy layered textiles and throws to help bring the feeling of fireside warmth to your space. The tonal shades of Malted Milk and Emerging Taupe add to the soft glow and bathe the room in natural beauty. There’s an effortless elegance beneath the sweet surface of Malted Milk that carries the look in its own unique way.

When something is delicate beyond words, we do the best we can and call it ethereal. That’s the essence of Malted Milk. Though outwardly elegant and romantic, there’s a lightheartedness in the shade that embodies the beautiful simplicity of the everyday. Even as an accent, the whimsical charm at the heart of this dainty hue softens the more sophisticated side of the cottagecore look with a characteristic wink of quirky fun. With Snowbound playing main attraction, you get the perfect airy backdrop for a space that feels both elevated and eclectic.

WHAT IS THE OPTIMAL TEMPERATURE TO PAINT OUTSIDE?

According to Sherwin-Williams, “Until a few years ago, painting needed to done when temperatures were going to be above 50°F. However, with advances made in waterborne technologies, products like Duration®, Resilience®, SuperPaint®, A-100®, in addition to WoodScapes® products can be applied when temperatures are as low as 35ºF.

Please note that surface, air and product temperatures must be at or above 35ºF and that environmental conditions during and after painting need to be considered. Stable conditions and temperatures above 35ºF are needed early in the paint’s drying schedule. The first 48 hours could be critical to successful drying.”

Opportunity Cost

The idea sounds good. I’ll just paint it myself. But there can be a lot more to a painting project than many homeowners realize. Just tracking down the basic supplies (masking materials, drop cloths, brushes, rollers, pans…) takes time and money.
