bye bye plain white walls...

I couldn't stand the paint any longer. With the addition of the boys, the walls are REALLY showing some wear and tear. The paint was that junky cheap builder's paint that is more like a primer for REAL paint. So...why not add another project onto this list. So far we have painted the family room (pictured above with the new paint), entry, dining room and guest bathroom. We just went with a soft brown (with a hint of green). It really helps the trim to pop and stand out.

And I just want to point out, I finally took down the Christmas wreath. How sad that it had been up for almost 6 months???

Here is the before of the dining room. I started taping all the trim and finally gave up. It is easier to go with out it and just be cautious cutting in.
A BIG thanks to Chuck for ALL of his hard work around here (he is such a GOOD MAN). I need to post some other pictures of all we have done. Like I said, painting is just ONE of the many projects we have had going on.

I am right there with you. We didn't paint all the walls, but at least one in all of the bedrooms except the boys. Gold in our room, purple in the girls'. We have a really great greyish beigey color for the living room. The boy wants green so we are keeping a look out on the oops rack at Home Depot. Then we do the kitchen and the bathrooms. Then we cover whatever white surface is left. And as for the wreath, we still have garland in our kitchen windows.

I'm curious what the OTHER of your projects are. The painting looks beautiful, and I know it makes it feel more like YOUR home.
