Been There, Done That: Happy yellow walls and a sense of accomplishment

- Laura Nethken

I did the best I could to use my time off between jobs wisely; I tried to get to all those things that there just never seems to be enough time to do. Of course, I didn’t get to all of them, but I did knock one big one off the list — I painted the living room.

Well, most of it. I didn’t move the hutch, but it hogs almost the whole wall anyway. And I didn’t move the computer desk for pretty much the same reason. You can’t really even see the old color behind them.
I started with the bar that divides the kitchen and living room. It was going to be a nightmare, which is why I did it first. If I could accomplish that, everything else would be a cake walk.
