| All painted in Caramel Cream |
Do you know the difference between Caramel Cream and Weak Tea? Well, I thought Caramel Cream was the right color. Turns out it's way too rich. What this household needs is a dose of Weak Tea.

That guest room/office space I've been working on has been wrapped up, a week ago, actually, but not without some effort. Rolling a ceiling isn't fun, and since
Things I get to do today are only those things I love to do, it took considerable self-talk about the lovely creamy finished product to get me through. How-to videos showed me the way to roll paint on a ceiling to prevent having stripes when it's dry. Too bad I didn't take the time to gather that information before I put on the first coat. I think it's called live and learn--the second coat went on beautifully. The secret: really load on the paint. Don't
ever let it get thin. Saves time and paint in the end.

But back to the color. My husband's first response to the nearly completed paint job was: It's too dark and it's pink! It's time to get his eyes checked for color blindness, seriously. In fairness, however, it was a bit darker than expected. The walls play against each other, intensifying the color. From the chip on the right, Caramel Cream is the top one; Weak Tea at the bottom. We're both so glad for the second time around.
