Plush Velvet

Try it on an inconspicuous area first is always good advice. And much as I hate to disappoint, Plush Velvet isn't a new make-up I'm testing out; it's the colour of paint I bought over two years ago for my bedroom.

There are three dominant colours in the room at the moment: the pine doors, the dark oak beams and the undefinable green carpet. I managed to find the one place in the room where the three come together; what do you think?

What I think is that twenty-four hours after painting up the test I'm not sure what I was thinking two years back, but I've put it off long enough and if I left it, it'd be 1) a waste of paint, and more importantly 2) another two years before I made up my mind about alternative colours.

So it looks like this week will be spent painting the bedroom. And then perhaps next week will be spent repainting it (Magnolia anyone?).
