Our living room has the basics done, now it's just the little accents (like pillows and art) that make it feel more like home. And there is Blue's dream TV. I have to admit, it's pretty sweet. I just can't wait until we have our TV console it'll look better and be higher. Not sure where the coffee table will go, since it sure as heck won't fit in the room! The furniture was a bit puffier than we remembered!
My office is a bright but calming shade of "Bahama Bay." It went on in one coat, which made my day. I still need to take the blue painter's tape off -- I hope it doesn't rip the paint off! We've had great luck so far but knowing my luck, the one room I do by myself I will screw up.
I can't wait to see the room with all the black and white pieces I have, including a damask valance! I need to find a good black chair, preferably a wingback, but that'll be another day. For now I'll use a folding chair.
This is another corner of my office. This built-in bookcase will probably end up blocked by the daybed/guestbed that will go in this end of the room, so it'll be for long term storage. It took me two coats to paint over the pink walls and purple trim the room had, and I used every last drop of paint to do it. I finally don't see pink when I look at the walls, so I'm happy. It's "Polar Bear White," the brightest, crispest white I could find. It's amazing how many shades of white there are...
So that's it for today. Once we have finished rooms there will be more, although I might put up some pictures from when we paint the kitchen (a few weeks from now) a nice shade of "True Peach." I hope it looks good -- it's probably my riskiest color choice so far!
