I know you've waited a long time to see what I've been up to in our new parsonage. In my last post, I gave you a little peak into the living room when I showed you my
diy bookcase makeover. Today you get to see the whole room. It's the only room in the whole house that I can say is finally finished. The room had a long list of to do projects, but thanks to the helping hands of church friends the room is finished. While we were still in Washington I received a call from a member of the church. She told me they would paint my husband's office and living room for us, and asked what colors we'd like the rooms to be. She also told me they were installing all new lights in the parsonage (including pot lights in the living room), and updating the electrical outlets. I remembered from living in the house 16 years ago, that the living room could be very dark because there were no lights in the ceiling.
After a lot of labor pealing off a wall paper boarder that had been painted over, the new paint color is on the walls and it looks wonderful! It is a soft gray, (Portand by Valspar); and the ceiling is a bright white ceiling paint. I love how it brightens up the room!
We took down the old curtains and put up new blinds.
