Being able to paint a room in my house in Hoover colors...

PRICELESS!!!

opposite corner

All that remains is the trim, which will be the color of the Convertible's bag

Very nice Jeff, the colors are PERFECT! So do you plan on using this for the 1st floor section of Hooverland? ;-)

Nice color selections!

 

[wiskybill]

Excellent choices!

I just bought a "Junior" today that would feel right at home with those colors.

Very nice Jeff.. I can see you now lugging those machines to the paint store so they can color-match scan them LOL

Wow - that turquoise is very nice with the beige and darker trim colors.

Will you put in a convertible hood as a light fixture - perhaps sconces on the wall? That could be kind of fun!

 

[appnut]

Very NICE!!

Will you put in a convertible hood as a light fixture - perh

Had not thought of that, Michael is reading this over my shoulder, and he likes the idea!

Fred and I are going to make a lamp out of a spare 1070 Convertible he has, AND I was thinking of putting my Hoover twinnie in that room as an end table.

Hey Jeff, the room looks completely different - and mucho better! Great shades from a great era - and great painting skills! I think you should go with Greg's idea - it'll be the icing on the cake ;-)

Looks fantastic

What a great idea! And the room looks fabulous.
Thank God you didn't decide to paint your walls in the old PAISLEY or FLORAL motifs found on old Hoover bags...

 

[hoover1060]

paisley and floral??

Well, I still have my bedroom to do too...

I am planning on using the blue and the beige in there, and maybe the brown from the trim.
My room is like 15 X 17, so there's lots to paint!

Looks great!

Can't wait to see the rest of it.

Benjamin Moore eggshell paint is the way to go. I wouldn't think of using anything else. It always matches the paint chip. It always matches perfectly from can to can. It covers well. The colors always have a quality appearance. And it spreads like butter. It's worth every penny. But it costs quite a few pennies, doesn't it?
