Another Home Project Completed

So nice to be able to say that, isn’t it? I love finishing up projects, especially ones that were on the list forever.  My husband Mike was involved, so it might have taken just a little bit longer to be completed. His project priorities are not always the same as mine!new black wallThe magic of paint! My previous red wall, Ben Moore Raisin Torque 2083-10, was a great color for awhile, but I have wanted to update for at least six years now. I wanted something different and unique.red wall2We had the custom cabinet made about ten years ago and still love it. It used to be an empty alcove when we bought house. See the previous yellow walls? They were painted Ben Moore Honeymoon from the Affinity collection.red wallI thought with the black TV,  black walls would work perfectly:new painted wallI like the way the speakers are not as obvious as they were before. It has always been a hard area to decorate with the TV in the way. Using branches of the Season has worked well:new wallnew closeNext project is painting the hand railing above the TV area black. See how well the black would work with the picture frame and sconces?:new upstairs Sigh… Another project for another day.I also bought a few forsythia branches. I used them as a centerpiece on my dining room table:dining room centerpiecediningBranches are great accessories this time of year!
