Goodbye Mr. Red!

For many years I had a love affair with red walls in my home.    It was warm and cozy and everyone loved it.   But starting this weekend the last of the red walls in my home will be gone!    I had my sunroom painted a luscious shade of red several years ago and loved it but now….not so much.    It’s only taken me…let’s see….2 years to decide on a paint color!     If I let myself think about it, I’ll change my mind a dozen times more so I just picked one of my favorite colors and now it’s too late to turn back.    The sunroom walls will be painted Canvas Natural.     Here it is in Jennifer’s beautiful home at The Old Painted Cottage.

I’ve been lightening up all the rooms in my home for the last couple of years and I can’t wait to get this room done.    The room will be awash in soothing neutrals with a pop of muted turquoise for a little fun!    I have a seagrass rug on top of cream colored tile, a sideboard painted white with a dark stained top and another small chest painted turquoise with a dark stained top as well.     The TV cabinet is a pine armoire I’ve had forever.    I’m making my “famous” drop cloth drapes for the large windows that already have bamboo blinds.     I hope it turns out as good as I envision.     The prep work starts Sunday afternoon but the painter can’t finish up until next Tuesday.    After that I’ll be having lots of fun putting the room together…..I can’t wait to share it with ya’ll!

Now I’ve just got to get the room cleared out so the work can begin….
