Step 3 B - Finished!

I finished painting yesterday, but, man was I tired!  This morning, I got up and shampooed the carpet first thing, then had to wait to get in and take pictures until it was dry.  Without any further ado...



The photos are a good representation of the the color which I like to call 'Frog Frappe' (oh, please tell me that I'm not the only Sliders fan around here.)  The actual color is called 'Garden Fresh' and it's Valspar paint in an eggshell finish.  While I really like the color, the paint itself was not all that I had hoped.  It didn't cover as well as some other brands that I've used, nor does it level as well on the wall.

As you can see, I still have some finish work to do.  I need to repaint that door before I rehang it.  It still some residual Cassie-grease on the inside.  lol!  I need to rehang the blinds, too, and then it's time to decorate.  Mike is out looking at furniture sales right now to see if he can find a new entertainment unit that will fit through the door.

While I've already purchased chocolate brown slipcovers for the sofa and loveseat, I'm still looking for the perfect pillow fabrics to bring the whole project together.  JoAnn's used to have the perfect fabric in their home decor center, but it was sold out the last time I went to look.  I found some really beautiful ones on-line that may just do the trick.
