Progress

BEFORE

AFTER
Isn't the master bedroom looking so much better now that it isn't that terrible lavender color? I think so. It also looks less like a cave and more like a liveable space. I am not usually a huge fan of white walls, but this room needed them. We are going to add a lot of color, though.

As you can see, we have already started adding color in the rest of the house. This is the blue accent wall in the living room. We are going to spend the weekend painting the rest of the room "trenchcoat" tan. We also put a fresh coat of red on all of the dining room walls. As we were peeling the tape off, we discovered that the crown molding in the living room and dining room are all the same beautiful hardwood as the rest of the trim in the house. I will never understand why people feel the need to paint wood trim. It baffles me. All the kitchen cabinets are the same hardwood as well! Afer our painting party this weekend and our moving in party next weekend, we are going to have to have a wood striping party. Who wants to come help?
