And on the 7th day, I did not rest.

Mission accomplished!

I FINALLY painted my dining room. I worked on it for about 8.5 hours.

Befores & Afters...

More afters...

Just the beginning of colorizing my home...

Nice layout on the colorscheme, warm, rich and bright. Love that bay like window too, great light coming in.
I've down more warmer colors, greens, stone like colors...
I can't stand plain white walls!

Nice room! My living room is a very similar color to your dinning room. Good choice :-).

I hate yellow, but it looks good--oh look, your blog has yellow on it.
I like the lighting in the dining room too.

Thanks y'all.

Summer and GC, thanks for pointing out that my blog and house match. I didn't even realize that. And Summer, remember when I told you my next room is going to be blue-grey? I guess I really like red, yellow and blue. I'm all about the primaries.

Red and yellow... just like Burger King! Seriously tho, very nice:)

You did a great job. I painted my bedroom red last year and once I started I was immediately regretting it ... I enlisted some help and once it was finished I fell in love with it.

Very very nice! I knew you could finish it. Looks like you have a beauuuuutiful home from what I can see.

I just went to their NY store last week for the first time and it was such a fun experience. Drawers full of curiosities, kitschy home decor, art.
