Progress, Setbacks


Things are looking pretty good downstairs so far. Frankie's art area is a buttery yellow color, and the rec room is a toasty pumpkin orange. I'm really liking both the colors so far.


The problem is the hallway. We bought a color called "sunflower," and thought it would be a soft orangy-yellow. Not so much. When we put it on the walls, it was bright, eye-frying Big Bird yellow. We hoped that a second coat would mellow things out but instead it turned from Big Bird yellow to Tweedy Bird yellow.

Not good.

So today we're going to repaint the hallway. Not excited about the extra work, but it totally needs to happen. It's way too darn yellow down there.

The orange is gorgeous!!!! I hope the new yellow turns out more like you wanted in the hallway. Everything is looking great!

The orange and pale yellow look great. You're right about the OMG yellow.
