Area couple amazed by newly painted walls

The dining room has finally been painted! Yay!! We're still sort of stunned by the change. Whenever I see the room I briefly wonder if I've somehow gone into someone else's house by mistake, and my husband keeps saying, "I can't believe we did that!" The final coat of glazing/ragging was a team effort and we're really pleased with the results. :D

Here are the photos: (backlighting makes the color appear darker than it really is)


And to see how it will (eventually) look with the trim, I set up some of the refinished baseboards here:


The colors we used were:
Ceiling: Sherwin Williams' "hyacinth white"
Wall base coat: SW "hubbard squash"
Glazing: 4 parts glazing liquid and 1 part SW "eastlake gold" (painted on as a solid coat, then blotted off with crumpled paper towels)
