It's Not Easy Being Green

Back at the end of July, I wrote of my desire to redecorate the downstairs guest room.  I posted this photo of the color green I wanted to use.

 

I further went on to whine and moan about finding the perfect shade of green.

I eventually settled on Parakeet 4th tint.

This dark dark olive green color is what I am replacing.

In the bathroom I am painting Parakeet over dark red walls.  I am also painting the laundry room Parakeet.  It is presently the same olive green as the bedroom.

Jeff, the painter arrived Friday to paint every room with a primer I had tinted Parakeet. 

As I am typing, Jeff is finishing the second coat over the primer on everything.  Each gallon of paint costs $60! Our old painter included the paint in his price.  I had no idea that it was that expensive per gallon.  I am absolutely loving the color.  Here's a sneak peek after 2 coats of egg shell paint.  It's still a bit wet in this photo.

I hope to have everything completed by Tuesday.
