New Paint

Over the summer we received a new paint job. Gone is the ugly blue - gray vinyl wallpaper! The moisture of the room caused each seam on the wall to begin to buckle and show its age.

We received a complete strip of the wallpaper and lots of surface prep. After several coats of mud, a coat of primer, and two coats of finish our walls are now bright and clean.

I have designs for future decorating. I'd love to paint the metal trim and introduce a maroon accent color...one of these days.

I'd love to hear comments on the new color, "humble gold". Stay tuned for a future project involving art club! I hope by Christmas to have frames and artwork where there was once posters, staples, and tacks holding up the wallpaper.
