Maybe you should have used some type of primer for the first coat,
but too late now for the work already done.

Nahh, just one color. Like I said it's thirsty old wood!

That's a very cold color. Why not a warm ivory or something that
would harmonize better with the floor color?

One should always consider the entire room or area.
Warm colors are reds, browns and off-whites.
Cool colors are blues and greens.

Choice is just a matter of preference.

I prefer the cool colors, mix of blue and green pastels and
combined with white ceiling and woodwork.

John's blue color would look good for walls along
with white woodwork (and ceiling)

There are apps now where you can take a picture, do a
little selecting work, then view your room easily using
a combination of colors. Takes the guess work out of
what you might be happy with.

Right now, John's door color clashes with his brown
walls.

Goes very well with Mother Gaia's cool mornings! And the old 1930's paint was light brownish beige or just really yellowed with age. Needed brightening up! And the very light blue will go great with the custom Stained Glasswork I had done by Cosby Art Glass! The sky colors and patterns near the top especially.

My house, MY colors! You do YOUR house in whatever colors YOU like.

Definitely. I've got orange-y hardwood floors (old red oak with the
original varnish) so I picked warm colors.

The previous owner, well, he had pink carpet (which we've since ripped
out) and very pale blue (almost white) walls. And a fireplace mantel
stained medium oak (like all those kitchen cabinets from the early
1990s). We still have the mantel.

Oh. And he had cottage-cheese textured the cove ceiling in the
living room, then sprayed glitter on top. That was the first thing
to go. Thankfully it had never been painted, so a sprayer full of
warm water took it right off.

3 coats in one day. What happened to waiting until
the next day?

And why are you only doing half the job, several coats?
You should cover up that whole wall and paint everything
one coat first. Then do a 2nd coat.

You're fired! Your final paycheck is in the mail.

You missed a spot. Two actually.

I guess we're supposed to be in awe of his color choice and painting skills
or lack of. I don't think I've encountered anyone so narcissistic and
bored to death with his life that he has to post the stages of his painting
job. As well as posting picture after picture of a roofing job, stereo
equipment, cleaning attempts, and the list is endless. Let's not forget his
daily postings of his exercise 'routine.'

I would replace those hinges. Cheap and easy. It will look great!

That would ruin the two-tone and fell length Venetian blind clank of
the door whooshing open and closing.

John keeps that there for a reason but it's the most White trash
part of the entry way. All he sees is the $1,400 stained glass. I
can smell the wood rot from here.

Bah! Why bother? Function over form! If they are not broken, don't fix them.

I LOVE the stained glass Cosby Art Glass made for 3068 Bellerive! You should see the stained glass in the 1st floor bathroom! :-)

Painted hinges look like crap. Find some that match your lockset.
