Christine Brault on Jul 04, 2013You could try sponging a darker more muted shade on top. If you also use a different finish on the new color (example a flat vs the previous glossy) , the overlay of both will create texture.Helpful Reply

Eroque022810 on Sep 08, 2016I want to paint but area only over soffit. I would repaint by window what ever color your tile is and also the half wall under the counter in same color. I think. Your biggest problem is your table can you lighten it up with either paint or circular placemats in same color you paint. It's just that everything is same color. If you can, and I hate this but put an area rug, circular and as large as the area allows if you can't paint table top and chairs. I love the color what is is and by whom? How long is that wall and what is opposite maybe you can make it stop at tile and just repaint from there. But it's your table everything just blends and so it's overwhelming, wall loses interest and focal point and room becomes darker and blah. I hope this helps.Helpful Reply

Eroque022810 on Sep 08, 2016I just looked again you can stop at that wall and leave the family room wall as is make table wall the focal point. Since you have that large door which let's light in still brighten up table with mates and get rug which will be hard to keep clean but you can send it out twice a year. Except for your lack of soffit your house is like mine now I can see that I am going to love it. I plan on leaving kitchen window area alone as well as eat in kitchen because I have soffit to paint on one side. Anyway I think it was brave of you and don't let it get you down you just brighten up what you can but think about the wall by outside door and how much brighter it would be.Helpful Reply
