Another transformation

Living room before:

Living room after: This probably doesn't look like much of a change in the wall color from the picture above, but if you look at the dining room walls, the lighter striped color was the color in the living room before. (I think you can click on the picture to make them larger).

  
I started out painting the walls a color I had used in the living room in our Alabama house and our other Georgia house (which looked cream in AL house and a pale yellow in the GA house), well in "this" house it looked as chalk white as the ceiling. That just goes to show you that the same paint color can look very different in each house. So in my head I told myself it was my primer. Justification.

Too much of a contrast with the milk chocolate accent wall (and no...it is not pink) so what to do....

I decided to bite the bullet and put some of the chocolate accent wall paint into the "supposed" cream color paint....and...yes...I did keep track of how much I measured in...1c. plus 6T. into 2 1/2 Qts. of cream...just in case I needed more. I did not. I have plenty left over for whatever. It is much softer now. Jay says I should patent the color with Behr.

Remember these hallways (there is a smaller one behind him where the guest bath and 2 guestrooms are located)...well this is the project for this weekend according to Jay. So onward we will go.

Then after a breather...he wants to start on the BIG project...I am nervous.
