Finally got all the wallpaper off of one wall in the bedroom then mudded the nicks, dings and natural divots of the wall board. That, of course, meant retapping and mudding the corner that meets the new sheetrock (which I had already put on one coat of paint.
I then used leftovers from the livingroom paint to prime it and see if it would look okay with paint since it is wallboard and not sheetrock. Then started painting it with my color of choic, and gave the other two walls a second coat of paint. Ended up getting a second gallon made up at the Depot in a different town. Bet you can't tell where the first gallon meets the second gallon.
I'm quite pleased that the two cans of paint matched up so well. I haven't done the other wall as that is where all the furniture is shoved up to. Plus, the wallpaper is mostly intact so will leave that one for later. Now just need to paint the crown molding and base trim to those can be installed. Will trim out the windows later too. I may actually get to move into the bedroom in another week or so.
Isn't your bay window marvelous?! And, no, I cannot tell where you changed paints. As I wrote, before - paint matching is wonderfully precise these days. It's great that you can successfully do what you did.
Gosh! Sleep in your bedroom? What's the world coming to?

I'm amazed that none of the spackling shows through! You are quite the expert at painting. Clearly you understand how to sand and prime. Your house is going to be just amazing!

CC - I do love the bay window. I will probably love it more when I am in that room for more than working on it - LOL! I was nervous about the color match because you never know when the base paint is of a different batch. I've had glaring differences even in the last year when I have don't the same thing with a different brand of paint. The different batches are in the corner between the bay window and the side window (the corner you can see in the picture with the bay window in it).
Buffy, thanks for the compliment. I think the credit goes more to the pain than to me. But I was smart enough to stay with the Behr paint :)

Dang those pictures make it look purple (at least on my computer). Let me assure you, the color is closer to what the second picture shows (the corner that was retaped and mudded)

Color, as seen by the eye or by the camera, is so dependent upon the lighting! My car looks cream in some lights, tan in others, and yellow in yet another. I was pretty sure that the purple was an artifact of the lighting/camera/my monitor. You are not a purple sort of woman!
