The Paint Projects

So as some of you know two weeks ago I wanted to take on a new project. I wanted to "warm-up" our house by doing a little paint job. I thought I would be able to have it be cheap,fast and easy. Oh no can I just tell you it was neither of those it was a long hard expensive project but well worth the late nights and many run's across town to Lowe's.
First I started with the small wall in the 1/2 bathroom downstairs. I wanted to match the color of a vase that I have sitting on my coffee side table in the living room so that it would all flow nicely. The color of the vase is this green same as the green that you see here on my wall.After painting the wall I had to of course get a new rug and towels to match. I really like the green. Although Terry calls it "shit green"

After doing the bathroom early the next morning I started painting the kitchen wall and at that time I was going for a pretty tan color. Well there are no pretty tan color's I quickly realized but that wasn't until after I painted the whole wall a mud tan it was ugly and had a peach tint to it so, I painted over it 3 more times until finally I found a chocolate brown that was beautiful. I don't have pictures of the kitchen because of the lighting is too bad right now.But I will have them soon enough.
After painting the kitchen 4x's I wanted to paint the upstairs where there used to be T's work desk.We built on a loft so now we didn't have the desk here anymore so it was a huge empty space. I thought that it would look nice to paint it the same chocolate brown as the kitchen. After painting it I realized it looks good, but not good enough I had to put something there but what?Well, as you can see I got a new chair & ottoman and wall hanging to go above the chair. Now its complete.


Oh man I just cant quit now I must do my room and then that will be it. or will it..?I wanted to go for some warm fall tones but didn't want the same popular brown that was everywhere else in my house at this point. So I choose a mustard yellow color. Its a Venetian wall texture and it took a lot of time for this one wall but its absolutely gorgeous.My bedroom went from feeling blah to a warm relaxing area. At this point also I have gone way above my budget so I only was able to get new gold sheets and all new throw pillows. As you can see I have a red pillow stitched with black that ties the new chair in with the bedroom.


Like I said was I really done or not..? NOT!! Last but not least I wanted the master bathroom to flow the my bedroom so I used the last bit of paint left and did the small back wall in the bathroom.Now my paint jobs are complete for now.
