Hello! My apologies for the long absence! I've been nursing a very sore neck/back for a good month or so but am almost as good as new (provided I ensure to listen to my body from now on instead of pushing it as per usual). Once my back started to feel better I started tackling the long overdue task of painting our family room/kitchen area (that doesn't qualify as 'pushing it' does it?). The whole area was a rust/brick colour...not our colour at all and made the room feel very dark.
new colours:
before:
Painting is going well and phase 2 is almost complete: phase 1 = 'Anjou Pear' by Benjamin Moore (left) in the family room, phase 2 = 'Coastal Path' (right) in the kitchen. Phase 3 will be painting the kitchen cabinetry 'Mascarpone' (middle). I'll post before and after pics once the project is complete in case you'd like to take a look.
What a difference it's made so far! But wow, I hadn't painted a room in years and forgot how much work it is with all the taping off, patching and edging. COMPLETELY worth the effort though. I can't believe I waited a year! But it really takes living in a space for a while for me to hum and haw and make bigger decisions like paint colour.
Are you procrastinating on painting some rooms in your own house? If so, I highly recommend getting it over with...one wall at a time!
