Lipstick on a pig

After 4 gruelling days of priming and painting, we're finally done. (Well, except the kitchen and bath, that's later.) We had to repaint everything. Previously, all the walls, trim, doors, and the ceiling were a lifeless tan/beige/blah color. Not only did everything all run together, the color darkened the whole place. Worse yet, it was all all glossy.


But now, our home is crisp and lively.

We opted for Benjamin Moore paint over Behr after several rave reviews... We've heard it's got thicker, longer lasting color, and is consistantly consistent.

We used:

Decorator's White (almost pure white, slightly warm) covers our cieling, doors, all our built in cabinets, and trim.

Deep rose (very, very dark red) accents the dining room. It supposedly stimulates appetites and conversation. :) It took FOUR coats, even with a primer. That's a deep red.

Palm coast pale (a very pale, sunny yellow) in the living room. Brightens up the place without gushing you with color. :)

Neon celery (a fresh green) for the bedroom. (To be complemented with dark woods and white linens). So very zendy.
