{ Weekend Nonsense }

In our last home I painted stripes on one wall in the Living Room.

I really loved it and missed it.

{grainy, I know}

So, this weekend, I threw some up on the fireplace wall in our Dining Room.

I'm loving it.

My original plan was to paint this wall a darker color, then stencil a cool mod pattern on it.

But, because I'm cheap, I thought I'd just paint it a dark color.

Then, whadda' you know, while I was painting the darker color I thought of the stripes.

The Sea Salt Blue fireplace stands out much more now. 

{although, not in this photo}

It's not all set up yet, but I know it's just what that room needed.

And yes, that is a peek of the tree at the bottom right.

Here's the before...

Then, I had to fiddle some more with some other things in the room too, 'cause I added something else to the Dining Room that I'll share later.

And just for good measure, what would a post be without a mention of Jonas's never ending saga of a room.

{Boy, don't get your hopes to high for this revel}

Just wanted to show you the final wall treatment and headboard...

Eventually I'll show you a full picture of his room.

Really, I'm not trying to keep you hangin', there's just not that much to show.
