Yesterday I mentioned that I'd decided to paint our dining room red, last night, one wall got painted with a sample color, million dollar red by Benjamin Moore. Above, you can see the perfectly good gold color that the room had been painted. Once it dried, the color made me smile so off we went to the hardware store to get more paint.

Thursday was spent taking everything off the walls and throwing on two and, in some places, three coats of paint. By 10:30 p.m. things went back on the walls. (Why is that mismatched chair still at the table and not upstairs?) BTW, the tablecloth really is the same red color as the walls but because of a metallic sheen, it appears pink in these pittures.

One usually sees red walls with white trim but I'm unwilling to paint the original varnished wood. There was a worry that the color with the wood might be too much but I like the combination.

By the way, the white spots that you see around wome of the wood is where a painter of the past slopped white paint over onto the wood. It would probably look better if it were covered with the new color.

While lounging around in my gardening sweats/pajamas was fun for a couple of days, it was fun to play with paint for a time. Have a good weekend all!
