Before and After Dining Room

Our dining room had these stripes that weren't too bad and I thought this was the room that we would only replace the flooring from carpet to wood...but then I got the drapes

Didn't like the stripes so much and thought it needed a punch of color. I'm not talking colors like:

or like this:

But color I could work with and live with...so we (meaning myself and daughters) thought I would go with the terra cotta I had in my AL house since we weren't there too long for me to get sick of the color. That was the plan.

Then we checked out Fennel Seed from Martha Stewart but color matched to use the Behr paint with primer...hey...who doesn't want to skip a step and not prime...ME! Best of all...it covered the stripes in one coat and they were no more.

Jessica said she would help me paint "a" room and buy the paint for my B-day present this past Spring and I ended up getting "TWO" rooms painted...booyah!

We got going on the first room later Friday afternoon and I cut in while she rolled walls and it went so fast that after dinner we hit the dining room.

Here is the dining room AFTER

Again

and...Again

I would say that I am very pleased with how this room looks and so much so that I might just paint this same color in our kitchen...whenever.

Come back in a day or maybe two to check out the other room we did.
