High Drama

 Well, I knew I couldn't live with the gray in our room. So I ran back out and got red. Without even look at the names I pick one I liked. When I looked at the name, I knew I had picked the right one....High Drama. Perfect. If you missed it...my first major fail was is here.



 This time I bought a flat finish. I like it. The dark gray shows through and gives an effect I love. It looks antique and scruffy.
 I didn't worry about being perfect. I am leaving it as is. I am not even going to use the paste wax. I heard it won't work with latex paint anyway...so I am very happy I didn't start.
 This is a perfect color for you room. I think it's fun, feisty, and perfectly dramatic!


Thanks for all your help and advice!!! Even having to do it twice...it really wasn't difficult. I love the built in primer. So smart and easy!





I'd like to post some pictures of of my dresser in my master bedroom....but it's mess right now!! That's why I am hoping ot win this giveaway!
Check out "Old grey Mare" here!
 You should check out, Old Grey Mare....and enter the giveaway this for this great book, "Book of Organization."




.... Bisous.....love from the "High Drama" queen!

      Thanks, Danni. Sure looks bright in these pictures! I do like it though. Red was the right choice for my room! Now if I could just get my room cleaned up I'd take a photo!
