Here you see Missy perched on the couch, showing off the wall colors, and that fabric next to her is the fabric we are going to use to make curtains. Tiger and I are working on that next week, I think.
Here is our Queen Cat, the momma, sitting in the picture window that will be curtained with that striped fabric.
And, here are three more of those red doors (we have 5 in the dining room). You can see here that the dining room is adjacent to the family room. The dining room is gold, navy, and red. The family room has the red below the chair rail and the pink on top.
Soooo, why did that red paint drive my husband batty? Aside from needing a million coats, we had multiple catastrophes with that red paint. One gallon, nearly full, spilled across the dining room floor (thankfully before the old was pulled up and the new laid down). Another gallon was outside, too close to the hose when one of the children decided to clean brushes. So yep, that one got drowned. And of course, because we needed a million coats, we always underestimated the amount of paint to buy in that drumbeat red color.
With each trip to Home Depot to purchase yet another Drum Beat Red, my husband's blood pressure rose. It has, however, been a year. Do you think it is safe to tell him I'd like to put some more of that red into the kitchen now? Mind you, just as an accent color...

Love that deep red! I totally wanted to do my living room walls in a tomato red last year, hubby would not have it. We ended up with a fabulous green. It is my second fave color and one we can agree on.

Don't do it Rambo! j/k I've heard red is hard to get right. It looks good, if that makes ya feel any better ;) Note to self: stay away from red! (I don't need anything to make me nutz ;)
Happy REDS~
p.s. thanks for following :)
I love the red, but don't think I could go through that much effort to get it. Looks pretty!
Such a funny story! Hubby and I are having paint issues/differences this week!! Good luck with more Drum Beat Red.:o)
Fondly,

Your gold is our "something" yellow, from Home Depot also. I love it. It's in my (tiny) kitchen and my fron entry. I LOVE it. The more hubby painted it, the more he can't stand it. When it comes time to repaint, I'm sure it won't be that color!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your red room, and I can't wait to see it with curtains!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

that looks great!
LOL! Funny!
I like the red but love the yellow. What a time consuming job, I can understand why it drove your husband mad.
I like the red shade, but am not crazy about the yellow and blue with it - looks like a preschool class. (Just my humble opinion!:) )
But I DO love the red and pink walls!
Love the red!! Thinking maybe you should hire a painter for the good of your hubby's health lol.

Know what you mean, we took our house off the market and going to wait for, hopefully, the market to bounce back.
