It's just paint!

Have you ever had a vision of something you really wanted to do.....like a craft project, decorating project, furniture or say a color to paint a wall?

We have been busy painting since Sunday night.  Four rooms, one l o n g hallway and a short hallway.  We still have two rooms to go and the shorter hallway.

We went from a dark mustard color to a bright beige. Bonjour Beige and  I! LOVE! IT!!

And of course I had this vision that I now know should have stayed in my head.  But instead we went for it.  I wanted that accent wall! 

Tahoe Blue................doesn't it just sound peaceful and lovely?!

Let's just say it was not what I was thinking.  And Brant was not crazy about it either.

In just 24 hrs you will see the changes the accent wall went through.
It started out like this...............................

Dark brick red.....I did love it for years!

And then we tried this.......................

Tahoe Blue Vision

DONE! LOVE!

This was not a summer project that I had intended on.  But when your house is turned upside down due to major plumbing and foundation issues you get a little crazy!  BTW you may have noticed that rug looking thing at the bottom right of the picture.  Next to the bar stool.....that is a piece of wood or "something" with lovely black Duck tape covering the hole.  It will be like that until Brant slows down for the Fall and has time to repair.  It's there and I am perfectly happy with it. 

Anyway I love the toned down color going on in our home these days. It went from dark Autumn like colors to one color.  One much brighter, warm color.

Painting is FUN and a fairly cheap way to redo/add new life to your home.  Even if you do have a vision that does not play out well. 

Hey it's just paint!
