Fiesta Family Room: Walls The walls for this soon-to-be bright and fresh family room get a muted green coat and accessories in the same color. From "Fresh Coat" episode DFCT-305

Figure A

Gary and Sarah Kass like to gather small collectibles like snow globes and oversize Mid-Century furnishings and posters, and this muted green wall paint with neutral yellow undertones will give them the start on a fine back drop for their treasures (figure A). The painters use a cool tool, roller extenders, good for height-challenged people and those with bad backs like the homeowners.

After the walls, the Fresh Coat team paints the shutter doors and built-in bookcase exterior in the same color but with a semi-gloss finish to add shine and interest. Then they coat the built-in bookcase interior and shelves in a deep rich blue for depth and contrast.
