From Primer to...

The primer look is gone, replaced with an Almond Paste (Olympic paints) color.

And primer in the front room

Replaced by the (yawn) Almond Paste.

We used this color for most of the house in South Carolina, and it was pretty okay. It did offer a contrast with the white trim, and didn't clash with anything we had. So I thought it might be a good place to start when looking for a new color for the previously-chocolate-brown wall.

Nope. Hate it! I don't think I'll even put a second coat on. I might finish off the darker wall to the right in the front room - since it has another little problem:
Whoops!
The paint wasn't adhering correctly...okay, it was peeling. And so I just had to peel it! What could I do otherwise, right? Right?!? So I might have to fix that. At least until I find the right color paint for this room.

Which might take a long while, considering how much I hate boring and how much Doug wants boring. Hm.

  1. Aww, it doesn't look too bad. Not terribly exciting, but it's better than the primer look, right? and makes a nice base coat for whatever you finally decide to do?
