In memory of the ice storm I do not wish to relive any other way than pictures…

New Look in the Works

Yes…I’ll admit it. We painted the dining room not long after we moved in and now, we’ve repainted it.  In the midst of making decisions for the rest of the house, I found wallpaper I wanted for an accent wall in the dining room.  We ended up repainting the walls with a color chosen from the paper.  The trim color also came from the paper, but it’ll have to wait another day to be finished.  I ran out of time.

When we moved in, this room had been papered and then painted.  Seems they were covering up a nice mess in the corner behind the French doors where moisture had caused the plaster to start coming off the walls.  Made for a nice mess to fix.  Scott learned alot in a hurry.

Mirror looks pretty good...

I’ve got to admit, this is a big change.  I was really determined to go with a uniform color throughout the house and not to go dark, especially in the dining room.  But it seems the house has other plans and I don’t think we’ll go against it.

I have a wall paper faux window to go over the light switch.  Waiting until the paint cures to put that up.  The elephants were going to leave, but I really like them and they work well in the room.

Hopefully, we’ll be able to get the trim finished during the next few evenings.  I want to get the living room painted and I can’t do that until the dining room is done.  And then I have the bedroom to paper.  But at least we have a direction, and that makes this easier.
