FINALLY. I got to pick a paint color all by myself. Although I did have a Hot Pink paint swatch in my hand for the Hallway, hubs said ‘Hey, check this one out, the name is Sweet Juliet’. And that was that. Done.
No, Rocco did not offer to help paint at all.
The Hallway wasn’t too ugly before, but it had this 70’s wallpaper that looked like tire-marks up and down. Plus it was ‘Off White’ and somewhat depressing.
So I did what any girl would do, start ripping down wallpaper at 7am on a Sunday, in hopes that her love will help finish the project (and take over if need be)
Since he was the Project Mgr, I was given this nice tasteful name.
Ordered this print from MadeByGirl for $20. Plus the $20 frame from Michael’s. Brightens up my mornings!
One full day, and 3 after-work-paint nights later. Voila!
Not too much needed for this makeover, other than some Paint (Behr-Paint-and-Primer-in-One), White Outlet fixtures, Crisp White Paint for the trim and doors, New Knobs, and a new light fixture.
Oh yeah, and some Paint Removal crap that I have yet to use on the floors that I cannot wait to remove!
Lovely!

Love that poster. I just found it a couple of weeks ago. I need more walls before I can buy it. I miss remodeling a house…so fun!
