Transformation (continued)...

I had to prime the wall with two coats because the first layer didn't cover enough of the green. But once I started adding my new color, it was love (for me - the jury is still out on whether or not Brian is going to like it!) {When I was priming the walls, Caitlin came out into the living room and said, "WOW, COOL, white walls!"}

Here's is the paint can - toasted honey this color is called. Wet it looks lighter than it really is on the wall. It's definitely brighter though and I already like it a lot. It feels so happy and energetic.
Starting layer one. The color goes on so smoothly with the primer on there. It also looked a LOT better than when I originally tried to paint over the green.

Wall one completed for first coat!


Wall two completed for first coat!

Here they are with the wall hangings up, just so I can see what I think. I really like it, but I still need to add another coat of paint as I have some "yellower" spots that you can see in person. I think it is going to look great! I'm going to paint the trim a BRIGHT white and accent with black. What do you think? Hopefully the other two walls can get done this weekend (or early next week).

I like it! Much more cheerful! Glad the primer worked well for you-I forgot to ask if you got my phone message about that. We were in Lincoln City for a week, but we're home now. How exciting to have THREE blog posts to read! I oughta try that, huh?!
