Taking On a New Project.
I was inspired a few weeks back to take on
the task of painting my living room.
When Dave and I bought this house
in early September 2009,
all the walls were painted in
(cheap) nasty white:(
I knew it was going to take some time
to get our rooms the way we
liked them.
I figured what the hell,
let's start with our living room.
It's the room we see the most.
Dave and I wanted a FUN and cheery color
for this room.
And we already had in mind a color for the kitchen
before we picked out the living room colors.
I knew I had some coordinating to do.
So I went off to the store to
grab some swatches.
Right away the color Golden Moon
seemed to be the fit.
(Our kitchen is next, with the color Carmel Cream)
Inspirations.
I had a few inspirations in deciding this
final color.
My first was a painting I painted this past winter.
Notice this picture is of a lovely
harvest MOON.
Seems to be the right choice in choosing a
color called Golden Moon!
It's fate.
I am convinced.
lol!
Also, I heart the color yellow,
always have.
I knew our living room had to
be a shade of yellow.
It had to match our soon to
be painted kitchen (which is to be a shade of orange).
So...I was at the market the other day...
...and picked up a bouquet of cheery sunflowers!
Anther great inspiration of the type
of yellow I want!
A Closer Look.
In a few minutes I will be going back
to the task of completing the painting job.
Mind you,
Day 3.
No one said this shit was easy!
But I would like to share with you some
of the pictures I took along the
way of this painting adventure!
Lots of sweat and hard work really pays
off in the end!
This is my first room painted
that I conquered for my own home.
In the past I have painted other peoples rooms.
But this is for Dave and me,
so it's special and extremely rewarding!
Oh the simple joys of home owner ship:)
Take a look...
And this is what I am off to do now...
Wish me luck!
I will post more photos
when we take on ripping the carpets out in this
room, after the white trim is complete:)
Tootles:)
Best wishes,
