Dining Room

I painted the dining room today. All by myself, too. That's a big job! But anyway, we had picked a color called Sheffield Grey. When we decided on it, it was a dark grey that would compliment our light grey bathroom nicely (you see the bathroom from the dining room). Plus we wanted a dark dining room to make it more formal. Well yesterday, we brought up the paint can and we noticed the splotch on it was more blue than grey but we figured we'd paint it and see how it goes. I opened the paint can this morning and all the swirls were very obviously blue and even once I mixed it all in, it was still very blue. I painted it and when it was wet, it was a very nice grey but now that it's drying, it's turning into a blue. I don't even know how to describe the blue. It's not bright, it's dark but not navy. I'm not sure. I'll have to see what David thinks when he gets home from work because I'm totally undecided. I either love it or hate it and I can't make up my mind. You would think that color swatches would be almost exactly the color of the paint but it doesn't seem to be the case. There's no way we got the wrong color. Believe me, I checked the can. I still just wonder. We did pick out the paint almost a year ago now so it's hard to remember exactly what you pick. Well, we'll just see!
