I spent almost all day painting yesterday and love how it's brightened up our home! On the weekends when I'm at home with Lucy, I love watching decorating shows. I got all inspired yesterday after watching one and decided to paint one of our big walls on a whim! It had never been painted and was a harsh white with lots of nail holes and dirt - blech. That wall has been bugging me for a while now.
Tada!
It's a really nice sand color ( It's Valspar "spun sugar" from the Martha Stewart line). I love how it brightens everything up but is still a neutral and goes with everything. The color variation at the bottom isn't the paint, I'm better than that! :) Our house has weird lighting.
This is a better example of the color, I think. It took 2 coats.
This is the other side of the room:
I'm so happy with the way the house is turning out! We painted these walls a couple of months ago.
The green is Valspar by Martha Stewart, "tapenade" and the dark brown is "horseshoe".
I also wanted to show off my new cutie pie wreath!
It's a little gnome in his s'mores garden! How creative is that!? I got it from KnockKnocking on Etsy, of which I am a huge fan. I want all of her wreaths!



These photos are inspiring me to paint. I bought paint weeks ago and still haven't painted yet. I better hop to it. xo
