I’m thrilled to show off the {somewhat} finished product of our dining room/living room makeover. I love the way it turned out. Last night while Derek watched the Bears-Cowboys game I even got out the Halloween decor. That always makes me happy.
We used Dutch Boy washable paint from Menard’s for the cabinets and trim. It’s in White Lullaby. And it was okay…but no where near as awesome as the Emerald Brand paint we bought from Sherwin Williams. It was a bit more pricy, but when purchased on sale for a whopping 40% off…it only cost as much as the Dutch Boy. And let me tell you, it was worth it. I’ve never painted with really nice paint.
There is a difference.
That’s the biggest thing I learned during this project. Quality counts. The Emerald paint was thick and bold, it only took one coat to get the job done. The living room and dining room walls are in Sherwin William’s Filmy Green. The stairway is painted Gateway Grey.
Now, let’s check out those B&A’s.
Now the brown carpet looks even more out of place. Well…we’ll get to it eventually. Isn’t it nice when a project turns out well? There is no better feeling.
