apartment painting update

As you saw in a previous post, we were having our apartment painted. The bare chested, smoking painters are long gone and the apartment is nicely cleaned up. Here's a taste of the color palate -

This is an accent wall (and pillows) in the living room:


And this is our very, very green room. If anyone knows the psychology of green, please let us know...

The bedroom is light brown. Neutral. Not worth a picture.

We also added a little more accent to the living room this past weekend, because there was leftover paint. However, we opened the buckets and found that the painters had watered the pain down. (Why - I've still got NO clue. Seriously. Watered it down?) But the walls were taped off already and we had a half bucket of the stuff, so we figured, "why not?"

10 coats later (at least) it was done. Looks pretty darn good!

More pictures to come once we get our new artwork hung. Sounds simple enough, but we've got concrete walls so it is not as east as putting a nail in the wall...
