We've got a painted living room! Yay! It's brown, it's lovely, and it's been a long, long road. Here are some pics from along the journey:
This is the living room as it was when we moved in. Isn't it delightfully horrible?
Step 2: Remove the dozen layers of wallpaper & paint. Ninety years of layers-upon-layers of wall decoration took us a few horrible days to remove, with the help of a dozen fabulous friends.
Aren't they great & adorable?
They all returned a few months later to help us put a new coat of plaster on to smooth out the walls.
And there we have it! Oh, what's that? You'd like to see the actual finished product? Huh. Too bad. I don't have pics to put up yet :-)
We should have the living room done early next week, and we'll have a grand unveiling then. Hang tight! I'm off to continue priming the dining room...
