I can't tell where you end and your house begins. Wonderfully expressive. And I'm in awe of people who throw paint at the walls on a whim. I brood for months and years about the need for new paint -- the phase I'm in now. You give me courage, Peter!

I bought a tester, but when it dried it looked like raw liver, so I went off the idea and played safe with a neutral colour.

Interesting that such a deep color actually goes on so much more transparent than opaque.

I appreciate you selecting this bold color especially knowing that some people intentionally paint their walls white just to get them look great on Instagram. As a result, many interiors look almost the same.

The kitchen is also getting painted because the walls are so filthy (painting is easier than cleaning, right.) but it's the exact color that it already was so not exciting at all. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-45904247487800213912017-12-29T09:17:55.438-08:002017-12-29T09:17:55.438-08:00Wow!

Back in the early 80s, right after Nigel and I got married, we rented a house that had red flocked velvet wallpaper in the dining room. It was a typical split level kind of house, so didn't really work style-wise. We hated it, Nigel called it the bordello-room. Yours looks great.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-63954473060710270262017-12-29T08:24:06.748-08:002017-12-29T08:24:06.748-08:00Happy New Year to you, Shirley!
