Paint project: Living Room

May 25, 2016 by Adrienne

Upon request, photos of our freshly painted living room. In the interest of keeping it real. I didn’t clean up more than I try to keep it normally. Or I’m just feeling lazy this morning, take your pick.

Pierce thought he’d blend in…

The catch-all surface… currently holding Sterling’s birthday presents.

The mirror caught me. And Stellan.

Coat racks… Blaine made them for me when we had four kids. There’s twelve double hooks. Suddenly, that’s not that many. My sewing table from my grandma is back in there too. It’s not the catch all. Because no one dares…

It’s dark and dreary and rainy and light isn’t helping me much in showing color. The walls are green, the curtains, recliner, and one couch are navy, the trim and ceiling are freshly bright white instead of the off white they’ve been since we bought the house. I don’t have a whole room before photo but this is the one I shot when I’d just started… the blue is what I’d painted it five years ago.

Done. I love it. The walls are clean, the trim is shiny and bright, and there’s not a fingerprint anywhere.

Until next week… if I’m lucky.
