PROGRESS - Afters, and living room walls...



Remember this chair? It was a freebie. Last October, I had a plan. I patched it up and painted it.




I painted it a lovely shade of green - John Deere Green. 



When too much of a good thing began to drag me down, I decided to lighten up and use green as an accent only in a mostly white space. So, another can of gloss white Rustoleum spray paint later, and here it is:









And, in keeping with my quest for my white environment, here are more "after" photos of recent projects:



In case you didn't see it, here is the before:



And another white component for my future white living room:






Here's what it looked like yesterday morning:




You probably didn't notice the biggest thing I did today. Look again at the first photo and then the third photo. Still don't see it? It's my new wall color! Or maybe the lack thereof. When my son came home after work today, he said, "It smells like paint. What color is that? Paint?" Meaning it was colorless. He's color blind so it probably annoyed him. 


It is actually a custom color I mixed myself - from a variety of off-white paints mixed with "earthy mushroom taupe" left from my daughter's room last summer. It's a light warm gray. Just dark enough to contrast nicely with my glossy white trim. I've painted one wall and parts of two others. 


There are  more "afters" to show you, but I'll save them for another post this week! Now, better get back to my projects.


Word for the Day:


Psalm 122:7
May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.



May the Peace of the Lord be with you!

I bet the color is pretty, but what happens if you need to repair a spot and are out of your paint? You won't be able to match it. Love the chair.

I love the white. It's so restful. I REALLY like that lamp/finial the carving is really pretty. You have inspired me to get out the paint.
