Have you ever opened a can of paint and started putting it on the wall and slowly the voice in your head gets louder and louder until it is screaming, "This can't be right!" Yep-happens to me all too often. I had the paint guy tint the primer the same color as the paint so it would be easier to paint over the red dots (sniff, sniff-still sad about that!). Apparently he tinted the primer one shade darker than it was supposed to be. You can see that the "real" color is so much lighter! Luckily, David realized the mistake before I trudged back to the store to get a lighter color.
Crisis averted. That was a close one.

Paint, for me, is always wrong, and never what I want. It is a mystery how I can love a paint chip and hate the paint. Oh well. At least it's easy to redo! And, that is sad that the red dots are coming down!
Hope you took photos of the red dots!!
I felt that way when Matt started painting the kids' bedroom "Sea Glass" by Martha Stewart. It was way more intense than I had envisioned. I still think I should have cut the saturation in half, and if I could rewind I would, but it looks better than I thought it would at first. It dried lighter than it rolled on, which was good!
Oh how I love green paint.
