No More Dark Teal Green!

We built our house and moved in 13 years ago I picked dark green teal with white trim for both the living room and dining room. I swear it looked good back then! I am just tired of it and needed a change. The hubby went to our beach house for three weeks and while he was gone when I could totally control the TV remote, I sweated my evenings away in the dining room!

Moved everything into the living room.

The china cabinet was the last thing out. I bought some cool sliders so I didn’t scratch the floor!

Tried out the orange……………….too pumpkiny. You know I hate pumpkin and sweet potatoes anyway!

Lots of priming. It needed 2 coats to cover the green!

Even sponge painted the light fixture. Brass is so last century!

Taped off the trim. Time consuming but so worth it in the end!
