However..
its... its brown.
SO
I went through Pinterest (probably hours of it) until I found something I liked. While I discussed my options with a friend who happens to be a professional painter, the recommendations he was giving me were not something I was prepared for (Venetian plaster!) and while spending hours upon hours inside of Home Depot, mild exaggeration, i happened to come across a pamphlet with the exact colors I needed!
I love Gray - it goes with everything. SO we decided that maybe the other walls should be Gray?! Winter Haze to be exact. I only purchased one can - which was a huge mistake since I went back to get another can... and it was a different shade. So.. don't do that!
This is the green - look how bright it is! We were terrified...
It dried darker but still very bright. I honestly cannot remember the name of the green - its on a paint can somewhere if someone needs to know though.
I'm going to be skipping big steps because I ended up messing it up the first time - then we had to repaint it green . This happened on a snow day though so it wasn't as dramatic ... we had the time to spare.
I ended up using a roller that had already been used and was kind of... matted, I suppose. It was dry and there wasn't any paint on it.. but it was still a little matted from previous uses. We lightly dabbed it in the brown, then ran it along the wall and used some old shirts to dab it around. I did some marble hand work which isn't very noticeable from this distance BUT it turned out so perfect.
Add in some brown furniture and its not to dang shabby for our first stab at faux painting!
Ta-Da!
We have yet, a year later, to hang anything on this wall. There is a specific piece that we want but at the moment its out of our price range.. soon, soon it will happen!
