This earthquake-inspired look lasted a bit longer than I wanted because of paint problems. I bought paint from a certain big box home store (which has "ow" in its name, so maybe that should have warned me). The colors were great, but I painted one piece and after two weeks it was quite tacky. Furniture that you can't touch didn't seem to me to be very useful. Internet searches revealed that this is not an unheard of occurrence, but there don't seem to be any good fixes. So I sanded it back down, purchases all new paint from Sherwin and Williams (because I've always had success with their paint) and started over.

I'm pleased with how this all looks, but I think the room could use even more. There's still too much wood in the room. So the dining table is next on the list to be bathed in pigment. Stay tuned for further updates.

The natural beauty of woodgrain - RIP!
Looks great. It does brighten up the room.
still the wood paneling overwhelms all... that's gonna be your biggest challenge yet.
Very clever - eeking out multiple posts from a project.
Ooo. I LOVE brown and turquoise. I think pics on the walls would help tons to reduce the wood-paneling overwhelm.
