The Living Room, finally for living.

We've been a little delayed in our housework due to Adam's sister's wedding (which was totally awesome), but now we're back to work. We finally finished off the living room. Trim color, as it turns out, is very difficult to choose. We had picked a wall color, and we wanted to choose a trim color that would compliment the off-white walls and blend with the wood floors. As it turns out, we were a little off. "Sandy Brown" turned out to be more of a greenish-beige that looks orange in sunlight. It got a little better when it dried, but really it looks like a 1970's mustard color. It's great in the dark, though.

Before, with the painted walls.


After (yes, it's almost exactly the same color as an earlier trim color, as seen on the doors).


Adam worked on patching some pretty big cracks in the ceiling, and they're invisible (for now).


The finished look. We're not totally happy with it, but it's better than it was before. At least we can watch the football game on our couch, in our living room. Maybe someday when we have tons of time (or money) on our hands we'll get the trim repainted some other color than baby poop.
