Dining Room Face Lift

In the beginning there were dingy white walls. Before we moved into the house we painted the walls in the living room, hallway, and dining room a sandy color named Baha Beach. After the re-wiring of the house last winter, there were little white patches everywhere. We decided that repainting would be one of our 'indoor winter' projects. Late this summer, before paint, we installed new light fixtures in the dining room and living room and thought it might be cool to paint the ceiling a different color and put in a picture rail. We went back and forth between a light or a darker color on the ceiling and what color the trim piece should be. Ultimately we decided on a darker version of our walls for the ceiling and a dark olive color for the trim.

Hubby had a lot of patching to do before painting the ceiling and walls. The finished room looks pretty awesome!
