The Living Room

Michael always gets the really dirty jobs, or stuck with cleaning.
This is what it looks like for now. Just the beginning...
Me fauxing the fireplace, with an off-white glaze. We like green, but this hue is way to intense, so we thought by adding a neutral color the intensity would soften, and it did. I really should have been in bed, but things like this keep me up at night.
This picture is hard to see. I re-did the painting about the fireplace to add more color and texture in the house.
This is a better view of the painting. Oh, and that's my dress making model

The First Stage. The first solution is not always the best solution...
We're getting closer, but it's still not working...

The room has been put together, yet it's still not working!
Ahh, finally! The accent wall works with the room! Always try new solutions... it's only paint!

Color Change | Deep Purple to Leather

Here a color change was needed. The original color was stunning, but created problems with the curtains that were specifically made for this room. With a color wash I was able to keep the original color, while modifiying the glaze to work with the curtains. The Entrance always seemed very dark to my client so I did the same faux that I did in the Bookshelf (see entry below). I faded out the darker color and replaced it with the lighter one, which made everything lighter. When standing in the familyroom, it seems like the light is creating the warmer feeling when it's actually different colors!
