goodbye to nasty
Well, I'm filthy and kind of sweaty and my neck hurts, but I am very happy.
Why, you might ask?
Because I've just finished putting two coats of primer over the walls of my hallway - previously a sickly nasty green that looked a lot like dried split-pea soup. (See exhibit A, at left: a photo I snapped on move-in day.)
The hallway doesn't have any windows, so needs all the light it can get... that dark color was a major bummer.
The new color will be a lovely very pale yellow - a Benjamin Moore shade called Filtered Sunlight.
I love it so!! And so does the fabulous Clare, which makes me happy, as I will think of her whenever I see it.
I can't wait!
But, I'm too pooped to do any more tonight, and the primer's got to dry. So, I probably won't get the new color on until next weekend.
In the meantime, I can look at this tinted primer coat, which is uneven and weird, but still about a thousand times better than the green... don't you agree?

Much better. Bold colors like your pea-soup green have their place, but not in a hallway with no natural light. A soft yellow will be bright and friendly!
You know, normally I like pea soup green, but I din't like it in that hallway! You're right, even the primer looks better! lol... I have a DIY blog (as you jsut read about) so if you want any inspiration, go look at all the different rooms in the sidbar of that blog... TONS of pics!
Oh Kelli - it's coming along great! What a airier change :0)
Beautiful!
Looks really lovely, especially with the flooring!
Much improved. Can't wait to see it finished. I've got some major painting that needs to be done but I've been procrastinating. :)
Definitely a thousand times better!
