  • Paint, Trim and Fireplaces: Reaction to the Painted Walls and Trim
  • From "Home IQ"
    episode DHIQ-117


    The homeowners' (Brad and Lynn Oberg) daughters are given the opportunity to select the wall and trim colors for their bedrooms. Jenna, the eldest daughter, has a dream of duplicating a Connecticut beach house. This dream comes alive with wainscoting on the walls and chair railing around the room. The rest is up to the painters who apply the lime green paint (figure A), which was a bit "too" green for Jenna's mother -- Lynn!

    Amanda, the youngest daughter, went with yellow (figure B).
