what did you do for the 4th? barbeque with friends, hang by the pool, or maybe just light off some sparklers with some cool lemonade? well, not me my friends. i did this.
but that lovely, calming blue used to be dark maroon red, and it was the worst. and we finally did something about it. i have a blue entryway, blue staircase, and a white ceiling. who would have thought? it makes the space look at least twice as big, and it wasn't nearly as hard as i thought it was going to be. with the help of my mom (the expert painter) it only took us an afternoon. and we were done in time for sushi and a late trip to ikea :)
of course nothing is totally done - trim still needs to be painted (probably this weekend), decor needs to go up, stairs need to be carpeted - but i can finally start planning the wall collage up the stairs i've been dreaming about for two years now.
a few more pics of our super-productive independence day. please note that for a little while, our entryway and hallway was red, white and blue. very patriotic.
