Progress
Two years ago, I picked out a color for the living room walls that looked lovely on a paint chip, but like mint ice cream on the walls. I've wanted to re-paint the room ever since.
I finally painted it over the weekend. Three of the walls are a light bluish grey, and one wall is a dark blue. It matches perfectly with the area rug, furniture, and lamps. I LOVE it! Now, after two year of living here, we can finally pick out artwork and make the room look "lived in". Our next step is to hire someone to put up crown moulding, and to paint the baseboards, fireplace and windows.
The paint job is far from perfect, but I am hopeful that I'll be the only one to notice all of the mistakes. Or at least as others notice them, they'll be kind enough not to comment.
Ahhh...I love it - I could sit in there all day!
