The Completion of Painting

On Wednesday, the painters FINALLY finished with the living room. I was never so relieved. The guys that did the job were great, but I was done with having my house all to pieces. I spent a very good chunk of Wednesday night getting the bigger pieces of my living room back in position. I woke up very sore on Thursday and very tired after the drive to Corbin and back the day before. So I took Friday off.

And I slept the sleep of the dead that night. My body needed rest.

Over the weekend, I squeezed a movie ("Annihilation"), hung curtains, bought curtain sheers, did some purging of clutter. As of earlier this evening, the room is finally done. Here are the transitions.


I meant to take a before photo and I forgot. The photo above is from 2007 when my furniture was new, but you can see the dreaded wallpaper on the walls. The photo below is from last weekend when the walls were ready for color.


The cleared room with primer
The color I picked out is called "Oat Field," which is a neutral brown with tones of green. In natural light, it's the color of coffee with cream. In artificial light, the green really comes out. I had them paint the entry way alcove a green color called "Yogi."

I do like how it turned out. Here's photos from today.
