Before and After...

So I decided to paint my living room and hall, make a new valance and pillows.





So this is my valance before...



And this is my valance now.







Here is my red wall before... And also my off white other walls...And my mono tone couch and pillows...


And here is my green wall now... And a buttery other walls...And my coordinating pillows

How many coats did it take to cover the red? I painted my kitchen red and I loved it for like 7 years and then one day I hated it so I immediatly got some silvery blueish paint and painted that damn red kitchen for a week. After 3 coats I declared it good enough. I will never paint anything red again, will you? Or if I do I should just do 1 wall instead of the whole thing! Anyway, I like your living room makeover. It looks fresh and springy!

Nancy, Did you prime your wall before you started painting? I got some paint at Wal-Mart that said it was a one coat paint so I wouldn't have to prime it. The paint was really thick and hard to "load" on my roller, but I only had to paint 2 coats. Plus I only had 1 wall - which made it easier! I'm pretty burned out with red but I might be able to do it again somewhere else and only if I did 1 wall or part of 1 wall. I'd love to see your kitchen color. Sounds neat!
