Painting Party!

[carynb]

Much, much thanks to mycrazyhair, mightydoll and lordzowy who came out to my place and helped me paint last night. We got both rooms done, and with two coats of paint, no less! You guys are great!

	Bedroom Look from the window I think it might be too yellow...
	Bedroom, out the Window
	Main Room The long wall in the main room

The only problem is - the bedroom is just too yellow. It was supposed to be gold, but it came out a colour much more suited to a kitchen or child's playroom than adult's bedroom. It's just too cheery for first thing in the morning. I'm not sure what to do - I'm considering ragging a darker colour over top of it to mute it down a little, but I'm not absolutely sure how that even works. And, since I'm the one who picked this colour, I don't trust myself to pick a colour that will work with it properly.

On the plus side, the colour in the main room came out absolutely great. Thanks to mycrazyhair for suggesting it!

Depending on how much stuff you are putting in the room on or against the walls (bookshelves, pictures) the yellow may not be too bad. When we painted the living room last year the paint looked very peach-y. But as we painted the rest of the rooms on the first floor it calmed down quite a bit.

Yeah, I think I've decided to wait and see. I'll be going with a pretty neutral blind in there, and that may help. And, there'll be a lot of furniture. So, if I need to adjust itlater, I'll do it one wall at a time. *g*
