Well, we thought that we were going to like it. Now we are not so sure. Maybe it's just so different from what we have been living with. Well, the walls now have their first coat... When it's dry, we will try a second... I'm wondering if some bits and pieces on the wall can be of any help. lol It's not Baby Poop Green anymore, but hubby said that our basement looks like an Avocado exploded... Oh dear, I'm beginning to laugh. What have we done?? ;)

An exploded avocado is starting to sound better. And maybe you can put up posters or whatever to cover some of the bigger expanses.

WE still haven't figured out the new problem, but we think that we have the color scheme all figured out. We have some black framed black and one nature posters... and it looked awesome. For the first time since we started this project, I'm getting a wee bit excited!!

@Hate2Iron That is very good news. I hope you get the paint situation sorted. I read where it's not sticking properly.

At least it's not baby poop green. But it could make you hungry instead for guacamole.

Well, you could always try a different color for the next coat maybe.

We just might have to do that. Heaven knows how thick the paint is going to be by the time we are finished!

@Hate2Iron A lot of us do that and never talk about it.

That's funny! An Avocado Explosion. I so go with it, get avocado shaped pillows to match. I'm sure those are a thing. In all seriousness, maybe you can get things that will play off of the green on the wall, or perhaps this is an opportunity to try wall stencils. I can imagine some tree type stencils on the wall to maybe make it seem more "themed". That is if you don't just go for another color entirely.
