Spot the Difference
You could be forgiven for wondering which of the two walls in this photo was freshly painted and which was still bare lining paper.
The actual answer is that I had just finished painting the wall around the window. Even in real life, the difference was relatively subtle and it showed up even less well in the photo.
The paint seems to darken a bit as it dries, making it slightly less similar to the colour of the lining paper. This is just as well as otherwise I might as well not have bothered painting over it! (On the other hand, the paint should be a bit easier to keep clean).
