Finished Painting the Living Room

This took me forever, only because I'd stop and not get motivated to start again, but now it's finally done. Unfortunately, this room never gets decent natural light. I tried for days to get a good picture but it's pretty gloomy:

And the flash photos are pretty scary:

My daughters think I need lighter curtains - ? I guess maybe for spring and summer, something else would be nice.

My cat was determined to have her picture taken, I think:

Anyway, that is finally done so now on to the next thing on the list.... cleaning up THIS, my leopard spotted deck:

Apparently, TREX plus little sunlight and tons of rain equals MOLD. Gross. Now I just need it to stop raining and dry out so I can treat it!

I love how your living room looks...so cozy. And yes, I think lighter curtains, maybe sheers would let in a lot more sunshine. What color paint did you use?

I thought Trex was supposed to be worry free? This is too bad. Hope it cleans up easily.

Stumbled onto your site through "next blog" (yes, it is late, but I am not ready to go to sleep, but too tired to work). Throughly enjoyed touring your house and seeing what you have done. You seem to know a lot about accessorizing, and yes it all looks comfy.

Wow, your house looks amazing. I am about to move from 1k square feet to 3k, it will be alot to fill but you've given me some good ideas. I hope you have a wonderful day and hopefully, hopefully, you check out my blog and like it. Although I need to figure out how to add pictures and make it look more like a published horror authors site.

Hi, just found your blog! I too am a single mom, of 2 girls. I too just bought my house in 2009.

I need to do some painting, but first I have to do major stripping... so not looking forward to that!

Your house is looking great!

I like it! Definitely old style; not like the modern-day red walls dark floors, shiny appliances scheme people seem to follow all the time these days. Reminds me of old times!
