I Finally Painted Some Walls :: Blue Bathroom :: Decorator’s Disappointment

Let me start off by saying painting the walls in my home has been a long awaited process.  It took a lot of courage and more time than I wanted.  But I did it.  I painted the smallest room in the house.  Unfortunately I do not love it.  It was what I was afraid of.  I would take the time only to be disappointed.  Now don’t get me wrong, I realize it looks very nice and really updates the room.  But it is not the right shade of blue.  I want it more gray but I used a can of free Valspar paint I got probably a year ago and apparently my choice of blue has changed.  So I will paint it again, not any time soon.  But when I can pull myself to get the courage again, I will give it a try.  Trial and error as I always say so I guess I should start taking my own advice.  On that note…
