This is a good thread/post When I first built my house ~i always wanted a bright RED room. I don't know why,I just did. I don't know...maybe it was just the hippy in me coming out (mind you the rest of the house was all neutral colors like, light browns and beige with light color pergo matching floors..And then there was this ~completely out of place~ 'BRIGHT RED' DINEING room! (Totally out of place!) People would walk in and say WOW! It looks nice.(Obviously being polite)After about a year I decided 'The RED has got to go'!. IT took me about 5 coats till I finally got the red to stop bleeding through...Never again will I try to decorate my house again! I've learned my lesson..though I can build a house from ground up, I will leave the decorating part to the pro's from now on!
