Island of Paint

Ive spent two evenings this week finishing up stage 1 of the shutter refurbishment. This involved scraping off the bits of paint that didnt come off when we had them stripped, and then adding wood filler to all the cracks and holes. On this little island of paint I can count 15 layers, from the oldest to newest:

Peach, pale blue, white, beige, lavender, cream, emerald green, forest green, turquoise, sand, white, sand, sky blue, white and cream.

After all those exciting vivid green and blue years it seems almost a shame to paint them a simple warm grey... but never mind Ive got some ideas for how to add some colour to the room.
