Before and After with Valspar Rushing Stream
I wanted to share my before and after with Valspar Rushing Stream with you. I’ve mentioned that I have a lot of paint projects planned, and so far my MIL and I have completed two of them. We have 3 more on the list.
Before and After with Valspar Rushing Stream
We bought 2 gallons of Rushing Stream Ultra Interior Satin Base B, Paint + Primer. To do the main wall and the tiny strip above the mirrored wall it was just about 1/2 (maybe slightly less) a gallon. I was very impressed as this particular color only needed one coat. I thought we’d have to do 2. Rushing Stream is the perfect color to brighten the room and it looks so crisp with the black.
In the background you can see into the master bedroom and peek at the curtains I made for my upside down U window in there.
I finally decided on a white paint for the rest of the living room. I’m using 85% white with 15% being a tint of Rushing Stream. However, my next paint project will be my master bathroom. For that room I chose Valspar Pantone Peacock, which is a deeper teal blue.
I definitely feel like everything looks better with color. Hope you enjoy seeing my projects!
I love the color!
I think the color looks fabulous, it really brightens up the room!
I have almost the exact same color in my bedroom! love it..
This is such a gorgeous colour and totally you!
I love the new color 🙂
This color is sooo you!
That’s a beautiful color! I love wearing something like this on my nails 🙂
Why am I not surprised you went with teal? lol. Looks great!
Oh fun! We are looking at buying a house soon and I’ll have lots of paint projects to share on my blog!
Although it’s a little too bold for my taste, it’s a pretty color.
Thanks Kim! I decided I needed bold after having such soft colors on my walls for years.
The colour looks soo good!
Thanks so much Mitty
LOVE! I will need to come see it in person!
Hopefully by the time you’re back I’ll have all my painting projects done 🙂
LOVE the color! My bathroom is done in a similar color 🙂 very refreshing!
Yay so happy you love it!
I love the color!
Thank you Brooke 🙂

I am digging this color!!
It’s such a happy color Ange!
What a freaking AHMAZING COLOR. OMG it’s so fun, so happy and just beautiful. Great job girl!!!! Love this!!
Thank you Jamie!
What a great color, looks like you did a nice job!
I think buying good quality paint really helped 🙂
Very pretty color and I love how this room looks now 🙂
Thank you! The room is sort of oddly shaped to me, and I thought the mirrors originally were so dated, but with the black paint I like the updated look.
That paint color really made it a massive difference!
So glad you like it Norah!
I absolutely adore your new color! My office is a bit lighter but the same color family. I find it so lovely to spend a lot of time in.
It’s one of those colors that makes me happy 🙂
Really nice color!!! Anxious to see the master bath color! I always wondered about Valspar! We have to paint too. I love the finished product but hate all the work! : P How many coats did you have to do?
1 coat. We bought the more expensive base with primer built in and it was worth it!
Thanks! I was hoping you’d say that!!!
oh wow! the transformation is crazy. Love the shade! Totally reminds me of you!
Thank you! I’m really happy that I’m getting help updating the colors in the house to be more ‘me’.
That is one amazing color! It adds so much vibrancy. Great choice!
So happy you love it too 🙂
