Living Room

So we finally finished painting our living room.  In like September.  I know I said I was going to keep up with this blog.  Well that obviously didn't happen.  Here are the much belated pictures.

Before


This is after we had already started painting and I was like, "Wait we need a before picture!"  Hence, all the furniture in the middle of the room.



Our furniture looked like this for quite a long time since we were pretty much painting after work.  Plus there was so much trim in this room!  And the windows - I hate painting windows!

After






Much better!!


And in case you're interested, here's how I put those pictures up on the wall.


I laid them out how I wanted them on the floor.


Then I cut out newspaper templates and taped them to the wall to make sure I had the right configuration without making tons of nail holes.


And then up went the pictures.

Of course I did this before we repainted.  But no biggie, I just painted over the nails and then put everything back where it belonged.
