Pterath's Journal, 04 August 2015

HAving a frustrating day with the paint. It is a satin finish because it is easier to clean and it is was not staying mixed. So I went back to SW and they shook both cans for me. Color is right but sheen is wrong and patchy. Just put some on and letting it dry now as a 2nd coat to see if we have a working medium. I hope so! Someone shoot me for picking a dark color. I love it but this is frustrating. And it is going to push me back another day before we can start the floors unless i work stupidly late today.

Here are some pics but none show you what I am seeing:

the dark in the background is what I am struggling with

It looks good from here 😉 Will be great when it's all finished! Very difficult to tell exactly what you're getting with paint till it's absolutely dry, as I'm sure you know only too well! The dark color will be very striking, I'm sure, especially with the white woodwork.

lol my entire house is country cream and various shades of wood with a touch of brick here and there. You are much braver than I. Its the over layers that make a room anyway I wouldnt stress too much about exact shade of the paint. You have excellent taste.

Yes, agree with Heidi -- looks good from this vantage point . . .

still looks splotchy but needs a 2nd coat still I still have the windows and the bay ceiling to trim around I am too pooped and wobbly handed now to continue. the parts that have been hit 2x look better so I am not as apprehensive as i was this morning. ANd the guys at SW game me free rollers (the best they had on hand) so I cannot complain. And they said if I am still not happy with the finish they will give me another can free of a different finish. Great customer service.

I love it!!! But then I love love color! Dark always take at least 2 coats. My dark red kitchen looked awful with just the first coat. I loved it once the 2nd coat dried. Nice about the rollers.

Bay windows and wood trim look sweet:) Hope you get some good rest!! Glad SW people are so helpful. Well done buddy!!

Looks really great and will be fantastic when it's all complete. What a great area by the bay windows with the curve up top. Old houses have so much character. My wife would love that green too, we have about the same color in our main hallway.
