Goodbye, Beloved Purple!

In this household, we are all big fans of purple. We especially like how the purple walls help make the living room feel more cozy at night when watching TV and winding down before bed. But it's been that way for at least six years now, and I'm ready for a change!

So today I painted over more of the purple paint in the living room to make room for more of the cream.

Here the walls are in the process of being covered with Kilz primer. Kilz is a great paint for sealing dark colors, stains, and smells.

Here the cream finish coat has been applied to the walls. That white trim sure does pop!

While I was at it, I decided to mount the satellite speakers of our surround sound system to the walls; the speakers had been mounted to speaker stands that flanked the TV, but sometimes my golden retriever would wag her tail on one, causing it to sway and threaten to fall. They're not the most beautiful looking things; maybe next spring I'll spray paint them white and hang them higher?


I'm slowly making progress around the room! More to come!
