The Pink Room

After some persuasion I am posting pictures of the hideously ugly room that we are repainting in our home. Unfortunately - or maybe it is fortunate - the pictures do not do the room full justice. The paint is so bright that you can see a pink glow reflecting in the hallway before you even enter the room. Furthermore, the neon green diamonds are sparkly. How many coats of primer and paint do you think it will take to cover up this sight-blinding room?

Amazing! The fact that it's reflected in the hall makes it that much better. Good luck painting over that :)

WOWZERS! I can only imagine what you are seeing in person. Can you only see green after leaving the room? That is insanely bright. =) And the green diamonds are all sparkly?!! Pure craziness. Wow. Have fun with that one. I'm thinking you might have to scrape the sparkly's off, maybe with a putty knife, those plastic ones. Then mabye two coats of primer...one if you buy a good brand. Ask the people at Sherwin...they'll know. Also at Sherwin if you have farmers insurance they give you a discount. I think it was Farmers..anyways, you can always ask.
