Painting the Room Red Part Deux

After a week of debating what my next steps should be to fix my disaster of a red room, I re-gained confidence and determination to get it right. I headed to the local paint store down the road and spoke to the experts about my problem. They were very helpful and gave me a lot of good information. They suggested that I buy a more expensive paint (same color) with a grey primer in it, so I can just continue to paint over my mess without re-priming and then re-painting. This option would require only two coats or so rather than the 5-10 coats that would be needed had I kept going with my first attempt. So I gave it a go again and.... it looks MUCH better! Unfortunately the walls were not in the best condition, they have some cracks from the house settling and you can see some areas where some plastering has been done to the walls which is more visible with a bold color like red. But I am happy with it. The guy at the paint store also told me that red is a good color for the dining room because red increases your appetite. Good to know, lots of dinner parties to come! Next is completing the sanding and staining of my grandfathers dining room table and curtains for the windows. Soon it shall be coming all together:)
