Working any more with yellow I think is counterproductive. Clearly I lack the gift of anticipating the multiplier effect. As for the bathroom, it needed a complete demo. Hard to tell from the walls now, but there is a coat of spackle two and three inches deep in places. All the fixtures in the room now are new. Master Buddhapuss and Electra even got a nifty corner style litter box. I’m thinking about Moroccan Red for the kitchen and an area rug. Working any more with yellow I think is counterproductive.

My advice? Pick a color you like on the card, and then go down one or two intensity levels, as yellow apparently multiplies on the wall. Or mix some leftover Navajo White with the leftover Homer Simpson Yellow, and the color will be less intense. Also? Huge improvement in the bathroom. No offense, but the old bathroom was, well, less than appealing. Yellow paint can be very tricky, as I have discovered personally. My advice?

Color really made a difference. Now I need some living room furniture. Thanks, man. Color really made a difference. Now I need some living room furniture.

I hate painting, but I dislike plain white walls more. Looks like a new place. Looks good. I hate painting, but I dislike plain white walls more. Looks like a new place.
