A very good friend of mine moved into the apartment above mine a couple of weeks ago. More on that later, but in the meantime she's having fun decorating. Right now she has paint chips taped to her walls. I'm so jealous.
When I moved in three years ago, I painted the bedroom and bathroom, then eventually the kitchen. I've never painted the living room or the front hall, because I just didn't have the time or the money. Plus the landlord had left it freshly painted in Linen White.
I am so over it.
I've been really hemming and hawing over what direction to go with the living room. But in the meantime, I'm convinced I want to paint this front hallway in a deep rich color, like plum. That way, when you come out from the dark confines into the big, bright living room, it will feel open and inviting.
Plus the paint is peeling over the bathroom door on the left, and the walls are totally scuffed. So really. It's time.
