The Transformation

As you know, we rarely have a time when we don't have a project of some sort in progress. This week I've been without Addison, so I've gotten some serious stuff done.....well one serious thing done that is next to impossible with little hands who love paint as much as hers do - hanging around. So, there are no little fingerprints anywhere in this project.

Mom is asking for pictures, so here is the almost completed task. It is lacking the beautiful white 3 inch chair rail that will make the whole thing POP! Like it's not already with the red. Much to my surprise, my hubby has not had one negative word to say about it. For that I'm so grateful! Sometimes, my ideas can be a little over the top, but this one has gone over well. It also helps that my furniture is very neutral with no color.....so I assure you, some was needed. But the whole wall being red would have been a little too much. This has been the perfect combo for us. It gives us just the "cozy" and "warm" feel I was looking for.

So here are my before and after pictures. BTW, every wall was painted the same color in our house for a fast move. We didn't take the time to plan a million different colors before moving in, so this is a work in progress. But this transformation has just been amazing and it makes me smile every time I look at it. I am now past my fear of color! Looking at the older pictures, I simply cannot believe I tolerated that bland look as long as I did - mind you, I had taken everything off the walls before I snapped the pics, but still.......

(by the way, I see / realize that my couch was not centered under the picture....it has since been readjusted!) lol
