My friend and I started right in for our marathon of painting for the final time! Goodbye golden yellow, hello sage green!
Hours and hours later, I have a very different dining room!
It is calmer and a bit more formal looking to me! I need to get used to this! I ran out of energy after the big clean-up at the end of the day and didn't have the oomph to put back a few decorations.
I did take the time to appreciate the astromeria that are in bloom!
And then I thoroughly enjoyed knitting in my recliner, cat at my side and The Desolation of Smaug on the screen.....
I have plans to finishing the 'putting to rights' the rest of the displaced items and then I will do a bit of piecing in the studio! Nice and slow for a change!
It looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteA friend who helps paint is a treasure! The color is refreshing.
ReplyDeleteIt is so pretty and calming. It makes me wish we had gone for a bit of color but I guess that can always be added can't it?
ReplyDeleteOur painters finally finished last night around 8:00. Apparently it took 3 coats in places and they used a good quality paint too. I didn't realize how bad the walls were before. Hopefully this has brightened it up.
Wishing you a calm, relaxing day as we prepare for Easter.
Blessings,
Betsy
Painting is so much more work than you think it's going to be. I was just thinking that it was a year ago that we tore the living area apart to paint in anticipation of the adjoining kitchen remodel and here we are still living out of boxes a year later. You just gotta laugh....in about six weeks we should be able to get started again-a year older though. Lol...
ReplyDeleteThe sage is very pretty and yes . . . calming.
ReplyDeleteThe sage is very calming. But I like the gold/yellow, too.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I like color in other people's houses, I always go for white for myself.
The only time I see Astromeria around here is in flower bouquets at the grocery store!
