The Surprise Living Room Makeover!!

December 30, 2016 · In: Before and After

is6m0t19rfplj40000000000There’s nothing quite like seeing your wife with ratty hair, an old t-shirt, and paint on her pants to make you want to marry her all over again.  That’s exactly how much husband found when he got home after a quick trip to Home Depot.  “Surprise!  A Living Room Makeover!… sort of…”
You see, if patience is a virtue, I am not a virtuous woman.  I haven’t an ounce of it.  When I have an idea in my head I want to do RIGHT NOW….  yesterday… heck, three days ago if I can help it!  So, when my husband went to grab a few more paint samples for my endless quest for the perfect shade of grey for the living room… Well, he obviously came home to a bit of a surprise…

His Hotty, surrounded by the remains of a hastily removed garland, slapping paint on to the fireplace… ahh, the joys of home ownership.  I havent slept since we moved in a month ago because I haven’t stopped plotting, painting, plotting, and then painting some more.

I’ll have LOADS more to share in the next few days, but here’s a little sneaky peek:

We would love to hear what you think!  Anyone else loving the dark grey?
