Ralph Lauren paint

Finally! I've taken some pictures of our mysterious paint in our front room. We chose a Ralph Lauren Suede Textured paint. It is really interesting stuff, and took for-e-ver to paint with! It is so thin and runny when you open it, you think it's not going to do much. But then you start to layer it on and it actually changes the texture of the walls. Where we had a slight stucco, we now have criss-crossed strokes that look like suede! It's strange, but we love it! We wanted a pretty neutral color, since our entry way is such a dark blue and our kitchen is a warm sky blue.

This has the flash on, so it still looks lighter than it is, but here it is:
We still have our 'poor-man's molding' in between the two colors, but it's okay. I want to find the right molding to put vertically! We think it will be worth the wait. We have this paint around the corner (to the right) where the fireplace is, then on the wide window wall. We also painted the half walls that drop down to the entry way, and also the half wall where the bar stools are sitting at. 
I still have to decide on which bright pink I want for the laundry room (the desire for the bright pink is sadly fading!), and I think I have some ideas for the bathroom downstairs.
