Painting Update

I haven't finished painting, but this is what the apartment's looking like to date. I've provided various angles of the painted rooms to give you a sense of the layout. Please excuse the clutter.

As stated in a previous post, the living room is painted Crewel Tan. Here's the view from the dining room.

Here's another view of the living room from within the living room.

The dining room is painted Crewel Tan on the top half and Decorous Amber on the panels within the woodwork.

The hallway walls are also painted Decorous Amber, except above the doors where I ran out of Amber and used the rest of the Tan. Here's a view from the dining room.

Here's a picture of the hallway taken from within the back bedroom/office.

Here we have the Festoon Aqua bathroom.

And now, for the pink kitchen. Originally, we wanted to paint the kitchen a pale yellow, but there were no yellows on the color palette we chose. I went to Sherwin Williams and asked one of the salesmen if he could match a yellow for me. He tried, Lord knows he tried, but he wasn't able to match one of SW's yellows to the three colors with which we had already painted. Cabbage Rose had been the backup. When Kate had suggested this color, I thought it looked like a reddish clay, so I wasn't opposed to it. And when Diana (the only person I know who has a pink kitchen) had said that of the colors on this palette she would paint her kitchen Cabbage Rose, that's when the red flags should have gone up.

Pink.

Pinker.

More Pink.

I will say that the pictures don't exactly represent the Cabbage Rose color too well. The walls look a lot pinker in the photos than in person. Maybe it's the flash? What's troubling is the fact that the swatch matches the walls, which makes me think I'm more color blind than I had previously thought. At least this is a huge step up from what it looked like before--there were cracks spider-webbing the walls, which I patched before painting.

I'll post pictures of the Majolica Green bedrooms, once I finish painting them.
