White Washing the Family Room

Ahhh…bless you Pinterest, for sparking my imagination, when sincerely–I was happy with the brown paneling.

Ok, well, happy isn’t completely, one hundred percent honest.

I don’t mind admitting that I am just so thrilled to be in the place where I have some kind of house–at all–that it doesn’t really matter to me if it isn’t entirely perfect. I’m grateful and happy to make do.

But after spending a bit of time seeing the “Dark Paneling Makeovers” that are on the internet everywhere these days, I will admit–a few coats of white paint wins. Hands down.

It has taken a bit of doing though. Primer, more primer, and then several coats of paint. It will indeed be perfect when we’re finished.

And going from this…

to this–as unfinished as it is…

is a huge improvement. Wouldn’t you say?

I’m deeply grateful to my kind and generous worker bees who seem to have so much happy energy.

Thank you. Thank you.

It’s going to be awesome!
