Paint fail :(

Among my googling and pinning inspiration marathons, I saw a great looking laundry room with similar tiles, cabinets and cabinet doors to what we planned for ours. I really liked how it had green walls so we decided to copy that and got some green paint. We looked and scrutinised samples and chose a colour. After one coat we decided it was awful lol.

The main mistake we made *I think* was doing the sample next to the door in the bright light. That area looked alright like it does in the photo but the darker areas, such as in the loo, were very unappealing. I still want green so Trev tipped a heap of ceiling white in and it is now more of a dark mint instead of flouro milo tin green and a lot kinder to the eyes. I'm sure that it will be less in your face with the doors, skirtings and tiles on too. One can hope lol and if not we can tip some more ceiling white in and do another coat ;) (will get photo soon as I have had a day off from housing due to the flu).
