The Grass is Greener

Well, since it is winter, our grass really isn't that green. But, now a certain room in our house is!  Back in January, we talked about our awesome master bedroom redo that was in the works.  An extension of that is also making changes in the master bathroom.
One place we find painting supplies and paint for our home remodeling projects is here with Lowes.
Our bathroom was originally about the same color as our dining room
We were taking the color out of the deep, dark reds so we started out this painting date with some good, old primer!
That was after coat one!  We did two coats to make sure that red was nice and covered.
Now, we were ready for our color.
It is Pepper Grass by Glidden color matched into Behr Premium paint plus primer.  Meet your painter...looks thrilled, right?
I do a lot of things around here but painting walls just isn't one of them.  I have a good reason, though.  I am really quite terrible at it.
Mathlete did all of the painting in the room while I took on kid duty and brought up snacks/drinks.
I didn't get many pictures of the after but here are few.  We'll have more once the drapes are finally done and hung!
Oh, and we tested out paint colors in the bedroom while I had the paint stuff upstairs.  Check out the winner {and please excuse the horrible night time photography}:
