Living Room Re-Paint

What a week!
We finally were able to finish up the painting
 in the Living Room this weekend.

I knew it would be a big job...and it was!


These photos were taken just as it was getting dark tonight,
so they aren't the best,
I was just anxious to share the results.


Hopefully on a bright day I'll be able to take better ones.


I'm really happy with the change.
The sofas and drapes now stand out
 instead of being lost in a sea of tan.


We had one minor problem, and that was with our very old armoire.
moving it around on the sliders, 
we still managed to break one of the rollers,
which threw everything off.
That's why it's not centered correctly.


It will have to be unloaded of all the electronics and repaired.
I just wasn't up to it right at the moment...





Here's the before color, still really pretty,
just wanted to go lighter.



The girls are glad it's done too,
although, they had lots of fun hiding and chasing
in all the clutter and mess.
and I'm glad to get out of my painting clothes...
scary, very scary.



no more big projects,
at least for a couple of days!

Have a Heart...


Just thought I'd share some "sweet" hearts that I've found on Etsy.

Ann from On Sutton Place created a wonderful primitive
heart pillow made from an old quilt top.
