Living is Easy

When one is without internet one must find other ways to occupy one's time. Thus the painting began. I've done a couple rooms so far and next on the docket is to at least prime the hideous pepto bathroom and paint my bedroom.

Here's the livingroom before painting last October. Some kind of army green color - I was so busy unpacking etc I forgot to take more recent photos. The color didn't change in 6 months tho ...

Although it looks brown it's actually a kind of green - very dark, very gloomy, and dirty. So I chose a bright neutral paint that would lighten up the north facing room. This is the northeast corner of the room.

And the corner with the front door with the new closet my Dad assembled for coats and shoes. A few things have been re-arranged since this photo was taken but otherwise it's pretty much as you see it. Nice and bright.

And the south wall of the livingroom complete with dogs ensconced on the couch. Typical. The mirror over the couch actually was supposed to go in the bathroom but as it turns out the mirror is 4 inches too large to fit so it ended up over the couch to enlarge the room. That worked out well.
And that is pretty much the livingroom completed. The baseboards need to be replaced and the trim needs painting yet but so far it's starting to feel more and more like home.
