This weekend was spent mostly painting and making numerous trips to Home Depot. Friday night Zach painted the ceiling in the basement. We woke up, went to Home Depot to get supplies and came home to paint the walls only to find out we also needed a second coat on the ceiling. We got to work and by 4:30 or so we were all done and very proud of how awesome everything turned out! It was my first painting job and I have to say I was quite impressed with my skills. :) I absolutely love the color we chose. . .Ralph Lauren--Cottonwood, not too dark but not too light. I also painted the fireplace doors black--the gold just had to go. We still want to do some more updating of the fireplace with a new mantel and update on the brick but this is a start. Another big accomplishment--we came to an agreement on carpet so we should get that installed in 2-3 weeks. Once that is in we will get new moldings and window coverings and should be close to done with our soon-to-be cozy family room. I'm so excited.
The fireplace before I painted it and before we took the blower off--it's an eye sore and we will never use it!
The fireplace in phase one of it's remodel--doors with new paint

The black already looks better on that fireplace and that's a cozy color on the walls...can't wait to see more changes!
I use R. Lauren paint as well because it's THE best paint! I have the color Kauai on my walls and love it.
we almost went with that color but it was a bit dark for our basement but i do it! nice choice Echo. what room did you put it in???
It looks so good! I too love RL paint. We used it in our dining room and kitchen and we're about to use it again in the living room/hall. Great colors!
