Ok, this will be my second week on trying to get this room painted. This picture is not the best, but as you can see the color was fairly dark and I felt this room (the guest room) definitely needed a facelift.
It started out as "ah.. no big deal.. the room's not that big.. I can paint it in a day!" WRONG I WAS! I forgot how long it takes to paint a room.. especially when you're doing it alone.... (this was my project to take on.. not my husbands idea of a good time)....and you don't use PRIMER over a dark color to go to a lighter one!
SO.. needless to say.. I am STILL working on it but it's close.. real close to getting done!
Oh, I love this color!! I have been admiring this lately, mixed with red and some crisp white. I had a vision of this for a bedroom with these colors and white embroidery pillow cases. Very vintage, maybe. Thanks for sharing.
