    Yep, I'll take pics.
    It's just difficult getting good ones, because of the small room and all the light in there.

    Did you get divider lites for those winders, or are they going to be full view glass?

    It is looking good. Nice view too...

    No lites...we wanted full view. I could have sworn I ordered the door the same, but I got the one with lites.:picard:
    I may try to order the window frame sans lites for it sometime.
    In person, the color is more of a lime green.....not what we wanted. Only took an hour to put on the color coat, so we may get something else, and I'll just repaint before doing the trim.
    Thanks for the nice comments.

    You men crack me up!


    I recently went through a few different samples and finally decided. Its bright and cheery during certain time of the day and looks beige at other times. Give it a day and watch the color as the sun moves?

    I told my wife the color hadn't changed while I watched it for 1/2 an hour. :rofl: :lol: Definitely looks different shades of lime green depending on the light.:headbang:
    There are sooooooooooooooo many shades and hues, I'd love to just paint it an eggshell white or something, but my gooder 1/2 says no. Hmmmm
    We have a sage green on a wall in the living room, but it's a little too dark....maybe.

    The last 3 pics are what it should look like, but it doesn't....except in the pics. Arrg.
    This is starting to remind me of the old movie "Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House"....
    Here's a few lines from his wife talking to the painter............

    Muriel Blandings: I want it to be a soft green, not as blue-green as a robin's egg, but not as yellow-green as daffodil buds. Now, the only sample I could get is a little too yellow, but don't let whoever does it go to the other extreme and get it too blue. It should just be a sort of grayish-yellow-green. Now, the dining room. I'd like yellow. Not just yellow; a very gay yellow. Something bright and sunshine-y. I tell you, Mr. Delford, if you'll send one of your men to the grocer for a pound of their best butter, and match that exactly, you can't go wrong! Now, this is the paper we're going to use in the hall. It's flowered, but I don't want the ceiling to match any of the colors of the flowers. There's some little dots in the background, and it's these dots I want you to match. Not the little greenish dot near the hollyhock leaf, but the little bluish dot between the rosebud and the delphinium blossom. Is that clear? Now the kitchen is to be white. Not a cold, antiseptic hospital white. A little warmer, but still, not to suggest any other color but white. Now for the powder room - in here - I want you to match this thread, and don't lose it. It's the only spool I have and I had an awful time finding it! As you can see, it's practically an apple red. Somewhere between a healthy winesap and an unripened Jonathan. Oh, excuse me...
    Mr. Delford: You got that Charlie?
    Workman: Red, green, blue, yellow, white.
    Mr. Delford: Check.

    Color's washed out, but I put the sample behind the painters tape to show the difference.

    Would tinted primer close to the base color have helped?

    Another coat may get you where you need to be.

    Tried a second coat........didn't change a thing.
    Got a sample of a darker green called "Cottage", and we like it. Another trip to the HD in da big city and the walls will be done.
    In the meantime, I can be staining the window frames and the door trim I got.
    Here's a tease of the new color.....the sample didn't go very far.
    Again, color rendition is off.
