Behr Gobi Desert & Breakfast Blend Paint Colors: Guide and Tips

In April we announced three winners of our Behr paint giveaway, and now one of them has shared photos of her freshly transformed room. It’s always gratifying to see how winners put their prizes to use. Below is an excerpt from Kim’s blog post about her laundry room and entry hall makeover, which used a free gallon of Behr’s Gobi Desert:

First, let’s take a look back at the “before.” Collective shudder.


And now, the “after”! Woot!

Besides a few fresh coats of paint (Gobi Desert in the hallway and Breakfast Blend behind the appliances), we unstacked the washer and dryer, added a few shelves, and removed that cabinet. We plan to re-hang the cabinet eventually after painting it white and adding new hardware to improve its look. To create usable counter space over the washer and dryer for folding, we bought a sheet of plywood, painted it white, and sealed it with polyurethane. I also placed cabinet liners underneath to prevent scratches on the appliances. So far, the setup is working great!


Thanks to Kim for sharing her makeover. We love seeing prize winners put their rewards to good use—congratulations on a wonderful transformation!

And while we’re on the subject of laundry, here’s how we transformed our own laundry area on a tight budget.
