Working Weedend

 This was my  "inspirational piece" I used to redecorate our living room, eight years ago.

Burgundy, Black, a little Blue, a little Taupe and a little Green.

Mostly dark colors.



 These paint chips, were my "inspirational pieces" this time.

I took away the darker colors and added lighter colors.

Some of our walls were already the color I wanted.

I just needed to paint over the Burgundy walls, the Parisian Taupe color.

I cleaned out the bookshelves. Goodwill was very pleased.



 I'm still thinking of adding the "drop cloth" curtains to this window.

But right now I'm enjoying all this light.

 This is the grand kids area.

You can see the old curtains.

I change the dining room to the living room for the Holidays.

This gives us more room for our Thanksgiving dinner.

This is a picture of our table set for a breakfast party.

Eeek! I didn't have any painting clothes. So I ran down to the thrift store and bought a long, skirted, jumper for $2.99.

Oh, so comfortable (I was climbing a ladder and sitting on the floor) and so darn cheap.

Plus, it was a cute jumper, so if anyone came to the door, I was respectable.

I'm saving this jumper for my next painting project!
