Living Room Painted!

We just finished putting the finishing touches on the paint job for the living room. The color is Stonington Gray by Benjamin Moore. We are very happy with it. It's really a true gray with a hint of blue. It takes on a nice warm tone at night.

Things that were completed in here since 2008 include a new ceiling fan, ceiling repairs, a new ceiling texture, new laminate flooring, the original hearth tile cleaned up nicely, some electrical work, and of course all new paint. The fireplace is done in high gloss which glistens at night, and the rest of the trim is done in a soft white.

I like that this room has all its original windows and original front door. The french doors missing on the left leading to the little sun room will be replaced sometime this fall hopefully.

It's hard to remember what it was like back then, and the photos sort of make me tear up. The hardwood was covered in paint, the fan was about to fall out of the ceiling. But I just saw love, and beauty in the bones...
