It turned out pretty good. I put a second coat on today. The walls and ceiling are done. “Sunroom” seems a bit more yellow than I though. Oh well. It still works. I think I’ll need to repaint the trim, speaking of which...there’s that one wall in the dining room with no baseboard trim so I’ll want to trim that off. I’ll keep the door to the garage white since I’m painting all the trim anyway. Next are the cabinets and the exposed beams (will be painted the same color....some shade of brown to hint of wood.) Maybe tomorrow I’ll strip the paint off one of the cabinet door pulls and see if I want to strip all the cabinet hardware (34 hinges and 18 pulls) or buy new. I’d like to restore the period hardware though. :)

That sounds very nice; the hardware cleaning/stripping takes a lot of time, but the results are usually well worth it. imho.

The color chip may not look like the resulting paint on the wall. :-) Boy, do we know that.
