Advice for painting: See the color painted on your wall, not just a swatch, before buying a big can. We went and got another can for the darker color because we didn't like how dark and orange it is. So we got a lighter "gold" but on the wall it basically looks like mid-range foundation makeup color. So, we won't be using either of the darker colors. We decided to use the lighter yellow/beige for the whole room. If we don't have quite enough paint, there's a can the previous owner left of a light almondy color that we can paint the far wall with.

Honestly I think our plan of using two colors wasn't a good idea anyway, given that we have white crown & side molding and baseboards. I think the white/cream baseboards will look better with just the yellow.

We will look for a charity that might want the paint. Else will bring it to the recycling depot. That was an expensive lesson as we wasted $100.
