Hello World! My painting push continues. Currently, I’m working on the 1/2 bath downstairs. The green paint that was in there was super stubborn. It has taken two coats of primer just to make sure the coverage was going to be perfect. I need to put the last coat of paint up and it will be ready for you to take a look.
Here is the break down of the massive
painting project here at

The paint of choice is Benjamin Moore’s Brandy Cream.
But, for now, let me show you the dining room and her new paint job.
Look at that “lovely mustard color” in the stairwell.
Below is the before from the listing:
On another note, I really liked the previous owners sideboard in the picture above.
The green wasn’t that bad, but since I was changing the “lovely mustard color” that you can see in the kitchen and family room, I thought I would keep the look seamless throughout the downstairs.
These pictures are for paint only. There are no pictures on the walls and no styling has been done yet. I’m really just focused on getting this house painted. Once I start decorating, I don’t want to stop, so I must press through and finish the painting first.
Here is a current shot with the new paint looking into the kitchen. If you look close, you can see Misty the cat sitting on the ledge of the kitchen window outside. It’s one of her favorite spots to lounge.
Looking back towards the stairs and foyer.
It looks amazing next to the plantation shutters.
I love the way it looks next to the china hutch. I have plans to re-stain the matching china hutch and chairs. The darker china hutch, I want to move upstairs and use for towel storage.
One room down. A ton more to go.
Thank you for popping in to take a look. Anything Blue Friday will go live tonight at 8:00PM CDT. Bring your blue and join in the fun.

Well, you've been a busy girl. Brandy Cream looks like an excellent choice. I agree that the plantations shutters pop, and I did see Misty on the window ledge. Keep us posted on how everything settles into place. BTW, I saw your link at Creative Inspirations Link Party. Ann Marie @ Iris Abbey http://www.irisabbey.com

Nice color!! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
The green wasn't so bad but the color you choose is stunning, your kitchen look so sunny with it, I'm sure that other rooms will be perfect too. Can't wait to see the finished look of the house.
