Living Room: Part 1

So first things first... No one has entered the GIVEAWAY.  Sooooo I guess I will leave it open one more day.  You have until tomorrow at midnight now.  In order to enter share my blog on either Facebook or Pinterest, or you can like/follow my blog on either of those or Instagram, then comment to let me know what you did, and I will put your name in to win a lovely bag I made.  (Picture in the post.)

Moving on.  Ok, seriously, I need a new project!!!

 

When I first started this whole, "I'm going to make every room in the house beautiful"  Grumpy said I could paint every room except the living room.  Well.  Obviously I wanted to paint the living room.  I actually got some samples and put them on the wall before I bought the gallons of paint and showed them to Grumpy so he could "help" decide.  At least he thought he was helping....  I had to wait to paint the living room until we had moved all the toys downstairs.  We ended up moving a bunch of stuff around.  However, again most of my before pictures are on my old camera, I mean computer.  Booo.  I will figure out how to get them off at some point and write a prequel post.  Anyway, here are the samples.  And the before pictures of the living room I have.

 

 

 

So boring and dull wall colors!  I had recently purchased the pictures you see hanging in there, because Grumpy had some weird random pictures up that... well weren't beautiful. 

 

I want to do two walls green and the other wall a white/off white color.  I am planning on doing the wall behind the couch green, as well as the wall you kind of see here, which is full of windows. 

 

After Grumpy "helped" me decide which colors we liked best we were ready to go!  (This actually took several weeks, not a few seconds as it appears when you are reading this.)

 

Cheetah Boy all ready to paint!  He loves painting.  Although, he usually only paints a few minutes.
 

I am just starting with this corner to really make sure I like the green.  This corner DID have a tall shelf in it, you can see the side of it on the left of the pictures.  However, I am moving that shelf to our bedroom and finding different shelving for this corner.

Cheetah Boy, paint already!

 

Looking good!!  As usual the color looks different in pictures.  It looks a little more yellow in this picture.  But in person it looks awesome.

 

This is what Grumpy did while Cheetah Boy and I painted.  This man can fall asleep anywhere, anytime, in like 2 seconds.  It is super annoying, I hate him.

However, at least he didn't get in the way or grumble about the painting of the living room.  If you hadn't noticed, he does better just seeing the finished project.  The actual work stresses him out.  Or maybe he just says it does so he doesn't have to do any of it....  Hmmm.

Well Little Miss didn't sleep long enough to totally finish the corner (sigh).  We will see how it goes next time!

Kisses~
