I love those days when you work your tail off and finally your hard work pays off!! All in one day, the part for the dryer came, and I finished painting the big room in the basement! It feels like such a relief. Secretly, I thought painting this room was going to kill me! It's such a big room. Even more secretly, I was almost done when I started thinking maybe I wanted it a different color. Whaaaatttt?! Yep, you heard me. This room and I need to just chill away from each other for a while and then I'll revisit that thought.
This is the result in the toy area. I plan to make a cushion for the bench so they can sit and read and I want to put some book shelves on the wall.
I still want to paint the door trim too. This is why I thought maybe I needed to add color in the room. With white trim and walls, it could make the carpet stand out too much. This project was more about brightening up the space and not really about style. There are three coats of paint on everything. This was all done with leftover paint that I had so it didn't cost me anything to do!
I've celebrated my basement victory by cleaning and moving furniture around upstairs and watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians (don't judge me). I also celebrated by helping a friend fix her dryer which ironically broke down a few days after ours! She and I were successful in our fix and we didn't even have to have Jeremy's help! Go girls!!
The end of a project always gets me excited to start the next one! I have lots of little projects that just involve a can of spray paint or changing out some outlets and lighting. I also have all of the supplies to start our master bedroom so that is probably my best choice. The poor room is wicked ugly!!
