And we have (some) color!

Last night I finished priming all the walls in the kitchen, and in the process decided that I really needed to do a second coat on the ceiling. So I quickly rolled a second coat before I put any color on the walls, to prevent spraying on my new paint job.
Then I started the color in the corner where the fridge goes. My goal was to finish that corner so I can get the fridge out of the middle of the kitchen!
I think it looks like delicious, creamy coffee:Now, when I bought the paint, the salesperson at Lowe's persuaded me to buy the more expensive Valspar paint because they say it's a guaranteed one coat finish. I put on the paint pretty thick, and this morning looked at it closely. From a distance, it looks ok, but when you get close, you can see that it definitely needs a second coat. So much for the time savings making up for the higher cost of the paint. I wish I'd gotten that guarantee in writing!
