BEFORE
Sorry that is a Christmas before shot but like my 6 year old says, "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" Anyway....this post is about the wall with the big UGLY lovely TV on it. First off I painted the entire living room. I needed a change from the light mint green, plus I was bored and needed a project. The color I went with is Behr's Silver Lining, which seemed appropriate.
The color is a very lite blue gray.
Now after painting I decided that the space between the front door and the TV needed alittle something. I had a quart of oops Benny Moore paint in a light gray. I thought I would just throw some black acrylic paint in there to darken it. I couldn't find any in my stash. But, I did have chalk board paint....its black. I put in enough to make the color a dark grey.
Then I whipped out one of my birthday presents....what woman doesn't ask for Purdy paint brushes for her birthday? Thank you again Hubs.
The tree is free handed. I figured if I don't like it then I could always paint over it, right? It has a slight texture because of the chalk board paint added to the can.
I LOVE IT! Hope you do to.

Going to get a cup of coffee and sit, relax and stare at my tree....

ReplyDeleteI am wanting to re-do my living room and a painted tree has been on my mind for awhile now...I LOVE yours!! I'll be using it as an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe you freehanded that! I am crafty but painting anything other than furniture is not one of my talents. I love it, it turned out great!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out very nice, I think that might be on my next list for my sons room?I might put shelves on the branches. Nice colour scheme to.
