Painting the middle room

Here are just a few before and after pictures of the middle room. I don’t know what else to call it, because it is in the exact middle of the house! You can get to every room from it besides the master bedroom.

Before priming:

I stayed up until 1:30 Thursday night finishing all the texture painting (where we replaced old paneling with new drywall, and texture paint to match the plaster in the rest of the room) and priming so I could start painting Friday.

 

This green color (Behr’s Boston Fern) is originally what we bought for the bathroom, but we ended up switching the two after we decided that the tan color matched the bathroom tile better. This is after the first coat and before cutting in.

What is looks like after two coats, but still wet. I recruited Zack and my mom to help me out while Craig and my dad were working on the wiring in the kitchen.

    

The door frames are primed, but still need two coats of white trim paint. I think it turned out really pretty. And if you notice the color of the living room in the background, you’ll see that these two rooms are Christmas colors! How perfect! I CANNOT WAIT until I can decorate for Christmas this year!

Sadly, we have decided not to keep the brick wall exposed. The bricks just aren’t in that good of shape and it was going to be a pain for the wiring and also for screwing the cabinets into. We will be keeping the arched doorway, but we will be covering the bricks. They crumble to the touch so it is just better to do that. However, we are planning on putting in saloon doors! Hopefully we can find some that fit!

I hope we have more to post next week, but I’m not promising a lot of change! Hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend!
