Go Bold or Go Home

But what do you do when you are home and the bold doesn't work?


I DESPISE white walls.  The literally bother me to the point of obsession.  My classroom is covered in "stuff" because of it.  So, it makes sense that my home would be no different.  


I got my red paint up on the wall...
 and my poor hubby was NERVOUS as he did the edging for me.


 But it grew on him.

and now the first coat is on. 

And I LOVE it!  I can't wait to get the second coat on today.

The one room I wasn't worried about I HATED and to take Lowe's and Valspar up on their "Love Your Color Guarantee".  And it was on the one room I thought I would be safe with - our bedroom.  It is the same color we have now.  But, our new bedroom is smaller...and as soon as J started edging, I knew it wouldn't work.

We got one coat on the living room, the dining room is done, our bedroom has 2 3/4 walls done.  We still need to go over the edging, but I wanted to make sure it would dry, before I primed it and redid it.  All I see is a dirty butt crack...sorry.  That is what happens when you spend 11 years with diapers, I guess. I can't wait to get it done this morning.

RED!

Not my LR, but I am excited for this to be my future!

I am being bold,  I am painting my living room red.  Black leather furntiture, b/w photography from 1920s Paris.  Not for everyone, maybe not even for my FF. But, he is indulging me.  Tomorrow after he gets done with his shift and before he represents the department in a local middle school for anti-bullying program he is part of, he is going to stop and tape off the living room for me so I can paint this weekend.  


I am excited and will most certainly have pictures to post.  Perhaps I will even get adventurous and have the whole first floor done, assuming that I can get someone to watch the muppets for me since my hubby is working.
