is no fun!
Note: Ceiling paint goes on PINK but dries white. Don’t worry! haha.
Tonight’s challenge: Find a colour for Eric and I to paint our living room!
Living room (Click to enlarge):
Note: We are replacing the carpet with walnut hardwood flooring. We will also likely paint the crown moulding white.
Any ideas?? :)
Bonus if you send me a link to a picture of a painted room that you think would look great in here!! :) We are really stuck with this room!!!
Back to your regular scheduled programming tomorrow AM. :)
In tomorrow morning’s post I will show you my raw granola bar- Attempt #2! Did they work???
I’m thinking that the wall opposite the window should be a vibrant blue, and the rest, bright white, kind of like this: http://photos.indystar.com/photos/standard/2009/02/220330.jpg
i love that you guys do all this stuff yourselves AND together! painting normally isn’t horribly fun, but at least you have someone to paint with!
Wow, you have tall ceilings! I like a beige colour for walls, but I am a bit boring :)
Mara- wow that blue is COOL and so unexpected!
Love the tall ceilings!
Love your sweatshirt!
Your home is beautiful, I have no clue what I would do with that room. Wish you the best of luck.
This blog has zillions of decorating ideas – it’s one of my favorite diversions! http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/
I agree with Mara! Go with something bright or another contrasting colour on one wall.. how cool would that look!
I love the yellow color at the top of this post of KT’s link:

The blue is fantastic, too!
No ideas on paint…but wow that is some terrible carpet.
I think you should paint it restoration hardwares silver sage. Heres a link to what it looks like on the walls.

I have no idea what you want to do with your room color wise, but my living room is Behr Wickerware and I love it, and a few people have painted rooms in their house this color after seeing mine.

How about a sage green color? I have that on two walls in my living room, with white trim, it looks nice and peaceful!
How about a warm saffron yellow? http://lh4.ggpht.com/_n0V4b73GtRs/RrRuT0u4UBI/AAAAAAAAAWU/4sxO9SvwfHI/IMG_0545.JPG
Do you guys blast the music and just have an awesome time painting and jamming? Because that’s what I’d TOTALLY do. Is it a good arm/shoulder workout? Because i bet painting a ceiling would leave my shoulders sore…
Wow I love your house, its got so much character! I think contrasting walls would look great as you have the space to carry it off!
