We were up to a little home decorating this weekend. The first photo is kind of embarrassing, we were trying out this "bellagio" paint treatment and in our zeal painted three walls. It just got worse and worse and we kept saying, "maybe it will lighten as is dries!", should have been our first clue things were awry... Next we were saying, "well, maybe once the molding is up it won't look so bad...". We finally decided it was scary and re-painted and tried again. I don't think the photo here does it justice, it was like dark mustard- brown and angry.
The next try came out so much better. We should have thought, small test area...
