Italian Olive

The 'Italian Olive paint swatch has floated around the first floor for quite some time. Originally I was going to paint all of the cabinets in the kitchen this color. After a million people (it felt like a million) told me this was a bad idea, I decided to only paint the island cabinets 'Italian Olive.' But what to paint the walls? Everything seemed to blend in, so for about 30 seconds I considered 'Italian Olive' for our whole kitchen and dining room.

Then I got a really dumb idea. Why not put 'Italian Olive' in the first floor 1/2 bath? Wouldn't that be perfect? It would tie the whole first floor together. Um, no. As you can see from the results it just makes it look like someone threw up all over the walls of the bathroom.

So down to the basement 'Italian Olive' goes to hang out with 'Opulent', 'Sweet Corn' and their other friend 'Gobi Desert'. All of which had a brief swatchlike appearance on the wall only to be covered over by something more aesthetically pleasing.
