Watching the TLC channel on cable TV is one of the most dangerous networks to watch.. especially if you don't have a lot of artistic abilities, like me. I watched a show yesterday (not sure what it was called) in which they redecorated a room. This room went from a floral theme to a woods-y theme. Once Nick and I saw this idea, we knew that would work perfectly for our house. So we chugged on down to Home Depot to buy some paint. I originally wanted a khaki greenish color for our living room wall to match the brown leather couches, but after comparing about 100 paint samples (I did not know there was that many color variations of green!!), we decided on an espresso brown. We then trucked up the hill and started taping off the framing of the wall. Nick and I spent some quality time painting our living room and kitchen wall (just one wall in each room). It looks fantastic! Our house is a whole lot warmer looking now, which will be great for the winter time. The next step that we are doing tonight comes from the idea of the TLC show: Put a bright light behind a tree branch, then trace the shadow outline (of the branch)on the wall, then color in the stenciling with paint. When we complete this task, I will post another picture! I am so happy with our "remodeling", but I'm afraid to watch the TLC channel again in fear that I might want to decorate something else....... Nick has already expressed his drive to paint our bedroom a dark cranberry color (which will look good with our new bed spread... Hooray for Overstock.com!)
