A neglected and dark spare room is transformed into a sunny and sweet nursery with the help of KILZ\u00ae<\/strong> Primer and paint.\u00a0 The existing deep berry-hued walls wouldn\u2019t do for the light and bright look desired for the space, calling for KILZ 3\u00ae Premium<\/strong>. Formulated with a thicker high hiding formula, KILZ 3<\/strong> Premium <\/strong>hides surface imperfections, prepares the surface better for painting and hides previous dark colors with ease.<\/p>\n

After primer is properly applied and allowed to dry it\u2019s time for some fun color blocking in a fresh white and happy orange hue. KILZ Tribute\u00ae<\/strong> in Architectural White TB-08 <\/strong><\/a>is used for the top half of the wall, while the same paint in Bright Marigold TB-95 <\/strong><\/a>brightens up the bottom. KILZ Tribute<\/strong> provides a durable, highly scrubbable finish, making for easy-to-clean walls ideal for children\u2019s rooms.<\/p>\n

\"Color<\/p>\n

Primer and paint take the room from dim to delightful, and now it\u2019s time to decorate! A hanging chair creates a relaxing space for rocking and reading, while a sweet white crib pops against the orange paint color and ties to the white hue on the upper wall. Fanciful artwork and a colorful mobile complement the color-blocking and create a fun focal point.<\/p>\n
