now....with a burgundy accent wall
then....muddy mossy color of doom
now.....it's called butter!!
then.....again, with the color of doom....
We have spent two weekends painting now. It has been exhausting. The color that was up on the walls and ceiling has been very difficult to cover, thus my giving it the name color of doom.
Why they put it on the ceilings is a complete mystery, but some have said that sort of thing is "trendy."
And, I personally LIKE to have different colors in different areas of a home. This dark muddy baby poo color is the same in every room.
So, our many hours of work have transformed a lot.
The bathroom is now a gorgeous seafoam green, with a pale lavender ceiling. The kitchen/breakfast nook walls AND the ceiling are 85% done, in that lovely "butter" shade, and eventually, the little hallway will be the same color as the living room, with white ceiling, and the dining room and master bedroom will be a couple of shades darker than that, and the office/guest room will be a soft pale green-- all with white ceilings.
The bedroom will have an accent colored wall, too, in a soft shade of ashy purple.
The living room looks gorgeous....so much bigger, brighter, and more open looking, and the parts of the kitchen that are done are soooo pretty!
It has been very tiring, and with my dance class now taking up Tuesday AND Wednesday nights, I have not had much down time (sorry I forgot to call you back, seeeester!).
Dave will go throw another coat of burgundy on the living room accent wall, and touch up the corners in the bathroom as this week goes by, and he has also taken every Friday off this month to spend painting.
We are determined to get it all done before we move in the rest of our stuff.
Can't wait til this is all done and overwith, and the nesting can begin!
Oh, and after a grueling day of painting yesterday, I took my first bubble bath in that beautiful tub! What a treat!
