I painted the living room WHAT?

[deza]

So it occurs to me that since I'm moving soon, I really should post pictures of how painting the living room lime green turned out.

Sofa The painting over the sofa was one my parents purchased for my grandparents in Italy in the 1950s. One of these days I'd like to have it cleaned and reframed.

Credenza The marble-topped oak credenza has been in my family since the late 1800s. I keep hoping to find hardware that will fit the original holes without having to special order it.

Books! Two of my bookcases. There are more. Many more.

Figure cases Yes, I painted the vast majority of the figures. What can I say? I'm a gamer chick. :)

Needs more question marks.

That is _bold_. :)

[pope-guilty.livejournal.com]

That looks great!

Wow, that actually looks really good!

[mystic-savage.livejournal.com]

Very mod. I like.

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

That looks FABULOUS. <3

Y'know, that DOES look good...especially against the natural wood finish on the bookshelves and figurine cases...

I'm both surprised and impressed!

I meant to ask you, what happens to the Alpacas when you move?

[deza.livejournal.com]

Well, that largely depends on where I end up. I'd hoped to be able to have a mini-farm with the girls in my back yeard. It's looking like that's not a financial possibility, though, so most likely I'll keep boarding them. I'm thinking of keeping them where they are--they're well cared for and happy. Eventually I WILL get my own farm, though. ;)

you know..? that actually looks pretty damn spiffy! i love it when people think outside the norm when it comes to painting their rooms and stuff.

Boy, you weren't kidding. That's green! It looks good though! Come to think of it, it looks very close to the shade of green i had in my bedroom when I was 14-15 yo. hmmmmmm. Nice job.

Are you renting right now? Because your landlord probably won't be too happy with you . . . !

[deza.livejournal.com]

Nope, I own. I'd never paint a rental place.

We painted our dining room recently, and we're very pleased with how it turned out... and that's a grand total of three rooms we've painted in the five years we've been in the house!

Looks wonderful. I expect it will help to sell the place, too, even if the primary purpose is your pleasure in it. I just put up a shadow box this past weekend for the figs I painted in college.
