Paint is wonderful!

It's been such a joy lightening up this room.
First Nathan removed the old ceiling fan and put in 6 can lights on a dimmer. Then I began the priming. I think I've already showed you the stripes from having to paint between each panel with a brush before rolling. Oh what drudgery. But so worth it!
I love going from this:
To this!:
Also, after pointing out a $250 dollar painting at Pier1 that I loved, Nathan said he wouldn't hang anything above the fireplace unless I painted it myself. If he hadn't made me, I never would have tried. Yay for trying new things. I'm rather proud of it.

More dark.
Lovely light. :)

Next on the project list is that guest bathroom on the left. It's yucky, but we'll fix it.
