More Adventures in Painting

First of all, yes, this does look like an insane art project...or maybe something done by a 3-year-old when no one was looking. I don't really fall into either category, in my humble opinion.

Anyway, I know this is a horrible picture taken with my cell phone, but don't the blobs on the left look more gray to you? They sure do to me!


(By the way, even after applying some Kilz (I used a little of what I had on hand) to the wall, I can still see some yellow coming through. Granted, I am probably painting too lightly.)

Second, apparently I'm not the only one out there with the "gray paint looks blue" issue. Seriously, if you're interested check here or do a Google search. Apparently this is a common problem. Who knew? In my effort to be all "scientific" about narrowing down my choices and whatnot... I never really thought to Google it BEFORE.

I'm so relieved the paint looks more gray after painting it on the white primer! I think I will live with these new blobs for a couple more days before I officially decide. Besides, I have some time yet... in an upcoming post I'll show you some of the other stuff I need to take care of first!
