I have gone with the exact color I originally pick and every single time it turned out too dark, and I love dark colors. Some paint stores will sell samples for $2.99 to try it out.
I do the same thing. It's never what it looks like on the swatch.
Sponge painting! How awful! That's right up there in the ugly with textured ceilings. Try cleaning those! Goddamn filth magnets is what they are.
This house has/had paneling all over. Not nice paneling, but the cheap, ugly shit that was made of particle board with a rubbery vinyl coating on it with a design of flowers and stripes. WTF? I should snap a pic of this room as it's the last of it and my bedroom. Sadly we didn't have time to rip it off the bedroom before we moved in. It was a choice of the living room or the bedroom and we took the living room project. Try painting over that shit! Even with the primer, you need six coats. The nuclear room - refer to that for pics on what happens when you pull that shit off. Assholes glued it to the walls. If Matt ever finishes that room for me, this room is next - ripping that shit off. I should just sell the house and find a more suitable place - lol.
Today I start prepping the kitchen. Pulling shit out of the cabinets and putting it in another room. We'll go to HD tonight for paint.
