Before and After

Remember this ugly dining room with the hideous wallpaper?
We scraped the wallpaper off and found a very damaged wall underneath. So we had to patch the walls with sheetrock mud and then sand it down. If you've done that before you know how big of a mess it is!  Oh, and did I mention the people who hung the wallpaper caulked over it? So we had to cut it from the caulking and then re-caulk after sanding down the sheetrock mud. Finally, finally, I got to paint it!

And now here is our fabulous guacamole-colored dining room!
It looks great, and we are enjoying it so much! Now I just have to get my yellow shutters hung on the wall, and it will be complete. It makes the ugly wallpapered kitchen look even worse now though - that's the next project on my list . . .

Whooowwww! As soon as I saw your after my jaw dropped. That looks fantastic! So amazing. Do I recognize that plant in the corner? Seriously, what a beautiful room to enjoy all the beautiful food you prepare.

I love the color. It is close to the color painted my family room. I have a gallon of the color left over. I think I am going to paint the hall and the computer room. You did a great job.
