We Painted The Dining Room

I decided that if we are going to renew our lease, we are going to decorate.  This was the first project.

Before

 GoodLooking really wanted to do black in the dining room and I was really scared of it.  The idea of having any color on the wall is not really a {insert maiden name} thing to do but BLACK????  I know that GoodLooking has really good taste in what looks good so I trusted him on it and we purchased the paint.

Action Shot

 This little table used to be the base for our micro HUGEwave (it really is very large... we inherited both so we don't complain)

Me thinking about what I had just done

Painted the little table.

 I wanted to just get rid of it and get a little hutch or something to put dishes and games in (we play games at the dinner table all the time so they just end up sitting on the table and a little hutch would solve that problem) BUT I liked the way it turned out and we are going to be good about putting games away when we are done with them even if it means walking all the way through the living room to the closet.

 We picked up some goodies from my favorite decorating store (if you can name what it is, you get major props)

FINISHED PROJECT

With the shopping and actual work, it only took us a whopping combined total of maybe 3 hours (it takes a long time to get in and out of my favorite decorating store)  I really like the way it turned out except that the way the walls are textured, the tape didn't stick very well around the edges and now I have to find some yuckyellow paint that matches the surrounding walls.
