Through My Eyes - A New Coat

A New Coat

We've lived in our house now for almost four years. When we had it built we went with the idea of low end everything and we'll put in "upscale" things as the Lord provides. Well this summer I got to paint.

I know, some of you just groaned, "got too?!" Yes, I love to paint. I tackled the living room first. It went from being the Macadamia White to Periwinkle Dusk. (Periwinkle is my ALL time favorite color!)

I didn't think to take before and after pictures of it, but my, what a difference! It's warm and inviting now.

Next came the downstairs bathroom. Again no before and after pictures. It went from the same Macadamia White to Sweet Honey. It is such a fun welcoming color that we decided the entryway and kitchen should be the same color. Wow! What a difference. The Macadamia White was a flat paint and the Sweet Honey is a semi-gloss. (Great clean up!

)

Here's the Periwinkle Dusk next to the Sweet Honey!

So happy this part of the house is done. Now we're thinking about colors for the rest of the house.

Have a great day!

Ahhhh, paint. What a difference a little paint will make. Chris and Margaret painted our living room and door a 'vanilla' color. Very nice change from the Dusty Rose we had before.
Next we are saving up for a new floor in the living room.
