painting the town red

okay, okay. so maybe it was just a wall in a room:)

we decided to take advantage of being allowed to paint an accent wall, and here are the results from two weekends ago:






starting the job out







did i say red? i meant pink.
just kidding - priming done!







silliness before the real work began





coat number 1 - working really hard to cover the "a heart m". we were worried for a while that it would permanently show through!









coat number 2 - almost done!


our freshly painted living room, complete with a new couch set that mark's dad so kindly purchased for us as a house-warming gift!

we're still in need of curtains and pictures on the wall, but its definitely the start of a comfy living room!

Audrey --
The paint color is lovely, and the couch is great! Doesn't feel wonderful to start making your house a HOME!!!
Peace,
Chris.

Love the red accent wall. We have red furniture and tan walls (tan like the color of your couches.)

I love red.

Warm, inviting...lovely!

nice and cozy - love it (although i wish it was a few states closer so i could sit on the couch with you and chat over a cup of coffee!). time to change your profile, by the way. :) can't wait to see you soon!
