Well I think I have mustered up enough energy to start the process of painting my living room. I am doing the same colors, but just another coat. It needs freshened up. I have a border above the chair rail that needs to go so I will just have paint on the walls. I found a store not far from here that carries Old Village paint which is what my trim is painted in and I want to use that again. It just so happens that I am judging a horse show in that town in the next couple of weeks so I can pick some up. Last time I had one heck of a time finding the stuff in Canada and had to UPS it here. Today, I'll start packing things up and moving the furniture into the centre of the room. I have been planning this for awhile now, but just finding the energy to start :( The February blues don't help either :(
My birthday is coming up in April and I just ordered a couple of samplers for the living room wall so that is my incentive. Nothing like an incentive to get you off of your butt and get moving :)
Hopefully I'll have some pictures when it is done.
Hope you all have a great day.
Janet
Hi Janet,I just painted my living room a month or so back.It is a big job but I am so glad that I did it.It is wonderful that you found the paint close to you as postage is outrageous anymore.Have you ever considered just taking a paint sample to the local store and having them color match it for you? Have fun at the horse show.Hugs,Jen
ReplyDeleteHi Jen. I actually do that with the paint for the walls, but for the trim, I love the Old Village paint. I already have some furniture moved and on Friday, I'll start stripping the border off.
DeleteHave a great day.

You're doing good, all I do is think about painting. One of these days I am just going to have to make myself do it!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting, Janet!
ReplyDeleteHow about some before and after pictures? I'm always sorry when I don;t or forget to take the befores.
Hi Janet, I also want to do some painting, refreshing up........It's always so nice, Francine.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the painting. I love Olde Century paint! Take pics of the horse show if you can. Take care, Janice
ReplyDeleteI still need to get mine painted. Maybe you could come out here and do mine after you do yours. ;-)
