Painting the Family Room - Progress

 

Useful Gray - SW 7050

Wow, what a week-end, we did absolutely nothing…but paint!  My New Year's Resolution this year is to finish painting several rooms in our home.  But check out the progress we made in just one week-end.  Here are the previous beige walls that were literally driving me nuts.  They were just too warm...

And here's the After, with the walls painted in Sherwin Williams Useful Gray - 7050.

Wow, I'm already in LOVE, and the room isn't even finished yet!  We still need to hang curtains and pictures.  I also need to freshen up the trim work.

And then there's the fireplace.  We ripped off that way too traditional medallion below and plan to sand for a clean and more modern look.  And then we'll need to paint the brick a creamy white.

Okay let's look at the After one more time shall we?  I seriously can't believe how new and clean the room feels now.   And that's huge considering our house, being a 1980's brick colonial has always felt older to me.

Okay, so what do you guys think, do you like the cool gray walls?  So far I likey ;)  But we've still got a lot more work to do.  Stay tuned for the full reveal, but give us a good week or so to finish everything!
