We, of course, wanted to remove ALL pink as soon as possible. So, we ripped up the carpet and primed the walls ASAP.
We decided to do a chair rail in the dining room and continue the tan color from the living room into the dinning room.
Out first color choice for the bottom.... A greenish blue color. We wanted a green and were trying to choose something that would work well with the blue in the living room.
The results? I liked the color, it looked nice standing in the living room towards the dining room. Andy thought that when you were in the room, it looked to teal.
So, we decided to live with it for awhile and see if it grew on us.
But Andy decided we needed to change it.
So, we declared a Do-Over!
The new color on the bottom? A deep deep blue color. We decided to go with an over saturated version of what we picked for the living room.
Inspired by the painters tape comercial where a very nice looking couple, who also looked remarkable neat after painting, had painted stripes on the walls. After seeing the comercial a thousand times, we decided to try it out on our room.
It probably took us more time to measure out and make sure our stripes would be evenly spaced and tape it all off than, it did to actually paint the stripes!
Also, in tying in the living room to the dining room, we decided to make the stripes the gold color we used on the beam and accents on the steps.
The first big reveal, if our stripes were going to be straight. I was really worried that the paint was going to sneak under the tape or when we pulled the tape off that it would take some of the paint with it. But fortantly, neither of those things happened!
We still need to hang the actual chair rail, and get some nice curtains. But it is getting there!
Our Finished room, as of now. Who know what we will decide to do next!
