So I got a little sassiness from my family tonight about promising to put up the pictures of the green walls and then failing to do so. So here you go, clutter and all :) No styling was done in the making of these pictures.
This first one was taken right after the actual painting was done, before I had moved any of the furniture back into place. Also, I used the flash in this one so it's a little brighter than the others. It's kind of a janky picture but I included it because the color in this one is a truer representation of the green than the other pics.
This next one is basically from the same angle, except it was taken after I put all the furniture and wall art back up and then took it without the flash, so it's a little darker. What I like about this color is how much it makes all the wall art and the white trim pop. It's just such a fun color, it makes me smile every time I walk in. Which is something, right?
Then here's the angle from the kitchen, so you can see what the green and brown look like side by side. I think they go well together, and it makes for a nice way of dividing up the space.
And then just for posterity, a picture of the living room with all the brown walls up and the furniture put back and everything. (Again, a little dark because it was taken without the flash.) I'm so excited about how this looks!
Remember how it was before?
Pre-tty bland. This is a big improvement, I think.
This upcoming weekend I'll be hoping to finish off the green, which still has to be painted around all the walls in the kitchen. I predict it'll be tough because of all the weird angles and the extreme amount of taping off I'll have to do - not to mention dealing with painting behind and around the appliances. Wish me luck! If that goes well, I might even get around to painting the opposite facing long wall in the brown, to finish off the living room, dining "room" and kitchen areas of the main floor.
That would leave just the hallway connecting my bedroom and bathroom to the rest of the main floor, but I still haven't yet decided what I want to do with the color there.
Ideas range from leaving it the light neutral color it already is to painting it Boothill Brown, to finding some third accent color to use. Not sure which one is the way to go yet, so I'm putting off that decision until I get to that part of the wall. Procrastination is my friend in this project, I think. Any opinions on the color from out there in the blogosophere?
