DIY

Ok. I have complained about our dining room for a year or two, so over Labor Day weekend I finally got around to painting it. When I first painted this room red (6 yrs ago) I didn't realize how hard it would be to coordinate with the living room. I just couldn't ever get it to look right. Natalyn has hit the corners of the walls several times over the past few years and you CAN'T touch-up red. Basically, it was just driving me CRAZY. Here are some BEFORE photos!!!

I put Scott and Natalyn to work as well. Scott accidentally touched the ceiling with his roller, so he had to end up painting the ceiling too. I like the walls and ceiling the same color though. I think it looks really good!!






NO MORE RED!!!YIPEEEE!!!!!

With the dining room finally painted, I decided to redecorate the room and finally finish the living room that I started redoing back in February.


Scott's mom got us these picture letters for Christmas and this last weekend I finally found a frame that I liked for them to go in. This now hangs proudly in our entryway.(I got the frame at Kirklands.)

Here are the "after" pictures of the dining room. I know the wall color is very plain, but it is so much easier to decorate with.


I am always on the search for a bargain. I refuse to pay full price for anything. I am proud to say that I got all this decorations for this wall for only $37.00!!





I am finally finished with the living room!!! I think it looks really cozy!!
