The Painted Living Room

Not much of anything going on on the wedding planning front. So I thought I'd post some info regarding the domesticity of mine and Jesse's lives together.

This past month has been focused on updating some areas of the house. One of those areas is the back porch, which unfortunately turned a random purple/rose color from the stain we chose. We're still working on fixing that, but the main thing is that the wood is protected out there, and that's all that matters. The other area that needed updating was the living room. The paint treatment on the walls started to look a bit tired and kinda dirty to me over the last 6 months or so, and it became clear that a change would be necessary. I've been planning for a couple of months, actually, and have been working on deciding on a new color for as long. With Jesse's help, we came up with a Behr color called "Classic."

Here is the living room before:
And here is the living room after:
Yes, I'm aware that it looks a bit pink. And to be honest, the color "Classic" does have some rose undertones to it that give it that appearance in some lights. But it looks really nice with the furniture, and the walls don't look dirty anymore, which is a really nice change in my opinion.

This weekend, I'll be rearranging the furniture and resetting all the knick-knacks and art so that they're in a new configuration, which should be fun. The room had been the same for the past 3 years, so it's nice to shift things about a bit finally. Change is good, right? Right!

Off to work I go. Check back next week for more updates on the exciting domestic antics of myself and Jesse! WOO!
