The Finished Design

The before:

The during:
The "during" included 3 full days of painting, 4 trips to the paint store, (one of which I ran in 5 minutes after closing on Saturday and begged them to mix up one more gallon for me because I was in the middle of a complete disaster and I absolutely could NOT wait until they opened again on Monday), SIX coats of paint on the entertainment center, FOUR coats of paint on the wall, one wrong paint color, 2 ruined shirts, 1 ruined pair of shorts, and miraculously NO CRYING and NO SWEARING!!!


A few accessories:
Again, I just wanted to get this project DONE over the weekend, so I ran to Target at 10:00 p.m. Saturday night and loaded my cart of with accessories I thought might look good.









  The finished design:
I am so happy with the way it turned out.

I love it. What paint color did you use I want to use it. It brightened the whole room - love it.

I couldn't figure out why it looked so so different. Yep it took several times for me to figure out you painted the wall behind. I want the name of that color too - love.
