Robin’s egg blue is such a beautiful color. I have gone a little crazy with painting projects, my husband is wondering if I am going to paint everything in the house robin’s egg blue. I am not, I promise. The color makes me happy, it is a cheerful bright happy color.
The color I picked is by Behr, it is call Liquid Blue. It is a great robin’s egg blue color, a little darker than what a true robin’s egg look like. I purchased one quart and have about 1/2 quart left. Not bad considering I have painted three projects. The coverage from Behr has been great, one coat coverage although I always do two coats. I believe two coats provides a better finish and will last longer.
Here are a few pictures from the projects I have done.
First is a vintage school desk I bought from Craigslist for my son. For more information Click here.

My favorite project has been the school desk, since we use it everyday in homeschool. My son loves his desk and and that makes me truly happy.

Love that color! I have a couple pieces just waiting for the right color. Think I may have to stop at Home Depot while I am out today.
