The study bath was another one of those projects that didn't quite get completed. (Previous post about this room)
This room was mostly done except that I didn't paint the woodwork and I didn't strip and repaint the radiator. Because I didn't want to deal with it at the time, I allowed myself to get distracted with other projects. Now I have no excuses.
There isn't much woodwork to be painted in this room. A single small window, the rolling door to the storage area under the stairs, and the back side of the entry door.
The woodwork preparation exposed quite a history of color in the the various layers of paint. The oldest is cream, followed by tan, federal blue, red, green, and then a couple of variations on off-white/cream. I used Ivory Tusk, since I still have some of that and it's not far off the oldest of the colors...
I tented the radiator to catch most of the dust and debris during both prep and painting. The bulk of the old paint just flaked off the radiator when I ran a 7-in-one tool's blade across the surface.
After a very short debate, we decided to go with a pewter metallic in this room because so many of the fixtures are in the pewter/nickel/silver family.
