About ten years ago, I painted my mantel brown. You can see just a bit of that "brown" mantel in this old photo of my son and grandson. It would be the bilious green strip at the top of the pic.
I swear it looked brown in the store! Somehow, in my house it looked like a pea soup green . By the time I accepted that it was not going to somehow turn brown if I just put enough coats of paint on, I didn't want to deal with it anymore. I have spent the ensuing years telling people I thought it looked just fine, thank you.
Well, it may have taken ten years to get up the courage to try again, but I do love it this time. It's Behr's Dark Cavern. It's a deep gray with a brown tint, not blue.
I should have done this ten years ago. Another job off the list!
It looks like you got your pictures back! The mantel doesn't look bad in the first picture - certainly not bilious, LOOOOOOOOOOOL! But then - I do like almost every shade of green :D The new colour is quite lovely, though - it's very RICH - the colour name is fantastic! But - please explain what the heck is going on in that first picture - is someone using special dental tongs to remove the sore tooth of a giant, while his proficient (and sizable) apprentice holds him to protect him from lava on the floor?
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty awesome to me! Paint denial is a long term affliction. I never did get around to repainting the colors I didn't like at my old house. Nice job girl!

ReplyDeleteThe correct clothing is also very important. It goes without saying that you wouldn't wear any of your best clothes while painting. Actually, you shouldn't be wearing any normal types of clothing at all as the first layer. What you need is a full set of overalls that you could wear while painting. Paysons Painting
