An Accent Wall

I HATE WHITE WALLS! And in theory, I have always hated flat paint, but never had to really live with it. Now with kids, I KNOW I hate flat paint. So when we were told we couldn't paint, my heart was broken. I am in awe at each home I visit because I just marvel at all the color. BUT, a few mornings ago, around 2:38am, I received a text saying I could do some paint as long as I paint it back before we leave.

So here's the deal... we painted A LOT at Second St. so I wasn't too gung ho on painting a ton. Plus I had NO desire to spend money on paint for a place we will probably leave come April. My solution, an accent wall or two using the left-over paint from our house in Acton. This wall sucked up about 3/4 of a gallon of paint - again I am glad I wasn't paying for the paint or painting a ton of walls.
I was planning on painting a wall or two in the boys room, but now I am really not sure there is enough paint. Oh well, for now I will enjoy the ACCENT WALL in my living room!

I also hate white walls and yes having kids makes you hate them even more, but your right it’s so not worth painting all the walls. The accent wall looks great. I love the way the fireplace stands out. I like what you did with the nook too.

So you did end up painting after all. Now I really need to come by and see your place.

But, what's with the moving-in-April comment?! You're not going anywhere, if I can help it...
