@nimashkawizii Also on an unrelated note, do you happen to know what the name of that green paint is? I love it

​I do! I painted the walls myself last summer! The swatch I chose was “Sweet Grass” by Behr, and my landlord took it and got it colour matched in a different brand of paint.
Here’s the swatch.

And the lid of the paint tin.

The bedroom walls were a cold pastel blue when I moved in and they looked awful with all my dark wood furniture and gold picture frames. I think if I had my own house I’d want the bedroom a dark teal and the living room could be a light green, but as I’ve just got a bedroom and can’t change the colour of the trim/doors/ceiling I think this green fits very well.

At first I went “On no, have I made a terrible mistake?” but then I realized all colourful walls look overwhelming when you haven’t put the room stuff back in the room yet.

Here are a few pictures of it in daylight.

Huh, turns out it’s fairly similar to the colours of the Singer 185J

Kind of in between the main colour and the accent colour. No wonder I couldn’t resist it!
