We are enclosing/converting a lean-to off of the barn and building new duck pens inside. Before we get too far we are re-painting the walls, ceilings and pens with a sprayer. The walls and ceiling will be a soft slightly warm white to keep it bright and for the pens I picked out several shades of blue, but I am beyond indecisive and can't choose a blue. If you would like to vote on a color for the new duck pens that would be awesome!

Update: Well since the poll results were about as everywhere as my brain I went back to ACE and found a blue somewhere in-between. I ended up choosing "Bachelor Blue" by Benjamin Moore which I think is a good middle of the road option between the lighter and dark blues I had sampled before. The Light Reflective Value for "Bachelor Blue" is 22.40% so it is a little lighter than the "Philipsburg Blue" Sample, but darker than "Smoke".

Here is "Bachelor Blue" on the door. We had quite a few things come up over the summer that delayed our project, but over October/November we will be completely finishing up the project. I'll post finished pictures then.
