Since I'm not completely done, I couldn't count this step as complete, but as of 7pm, thar be green here! As I had hoped the walls glow with an inner light making that basement room look completely different. I think it also looks a bit bigger. It does need that second coat. Between the heavy texture on the walls and the drastic color change, one coat just couldn't do it. I'd planned on two coats, though, so I'm all set.
I'm really looking forward to putting together a decorating scheme for the room. I have several ideas, but I'm still on the lookout for good ideas. Several people that I know have lime green craft rooms, but I don't know anyone with a bright green tv room. We're going to need to get some furniture as well as new decor, so I'll be checking out both online and brick-and-mortar sources of fun decorating goodies. Maybe this will finally be the excuse I need to pay a visit to Tai-Pan Trading. Been wanting to go there since it opened!
On a related note, I had really forgotten how exhausting painting can be. I've had to reduce my usual gym workouts this week to compensate for all the up-and-down while I've been painting this week. And, I've discovered that it gets surprisingly hot down there, too. I'll have to remember that if I try to exercise down there once we get all the media goodies moved.

Josh would LOVE to go to Tai Pan with you! (If you go on a Saturday morning, expect to give in to the wonderful smell of cinnamon rolls baking fresh in their bakery.) Ikea is always fun, too.
Part of the heat could be the brightness of the color warming the room. Joey has one of the warmest rooms in the house right now, and her blinds are always closed.
