There was no answer, so I left a voice mail. On Monday, it still hadn’t shipped, so I called. ![]() Well, the product page on the website where I ordered it said that it was in stock and ready to ship same day or next business day. Remember that beautiful shiny glass penny tile I ordered for the accents in the shower and in the wainscoting around the bathroom? Should I stick with this darker, gorgeous, velvety color? Or should I lighten up the second (and possibly third) coat and aim more for the original color I had in mind?Īnd here’s another problem that may affect that decision. If it is darker, it’s not much darker at all. It has more movement to it, but I don’t really think it appears darker than the rest of the wall. It’s the circled area in the picture below. So as a test for comparison, I did a second coat on part of this wall. One thing that I had thought is that if I stick with the same color, the walls will get considerably darker after a second coat. So these aren’t really what I would call daytime pictures, but they’re not nighttime pictures, either. so it was still pretty dark in the room and I had to turn on the lights. It was still pretty early, and I took these before the sun had risen above the trees. I’d love for you to join me on my actual website!

Here are a couple of pictures of what the finish looked like last night before I went to bed… I just can’t decide if it’s still too dark. It was still very wet (and very dark) in this picture.īut as you can see, it all lightened up a bit when it was dry. I wasn’t wrong.Īnd here’s how that last area looked immediately after I finished. That base coat is Behr Aqua Rapids, and I told y’all that the final color would be deeper, richer, and bluer. ![]() But it dried just a little bit lighter.Īnd you can see the difference between the base paint color I used and the Venetian plaster finish. Right after I did this part of the wall and stood back to look at it, I was fully convinced that it was too dark for the final coat. Interestingly, this product lightens up a bit after it dries, which is the very opposite of what latex paint does. ![]() This is how it looked last night after it was dry. It’s so rich, and has such a velvety appearance. ![]() I knew it was darker than what I had been envisioning, but my thought was that I could use the darker color for the first coat, and then take it back and have them lighten it up considerably, and do the second coat with the lighter color.īut after doing one coat with the darker color, now I’m unconvinced that it needs to go lighter. When I did the mock ups of the walls with the wall mural, I used a similar light color…īut when I went to the local Benjamin Moore store to get the Modern Masters Venetian plaster finish mixed, the girl mixed it considerably darker. In fact, it’s similar to the paint color I have on my kitchen cabinets. It’s kind of a soft but light teal color.
