Before and after

I didn't put the kids' pictures back up, because I want to do a cross wall there, like this one.

I am more than exhausted. It was such a hard room, but we really do love the color. It makes the room so warm and comfortable. It's not too dark, although it is much darker than these pictures make it out to be. It's elegant and practical. And all the smudges and marks are gone! We washed the curtains, vacuumed under the furniture and wiped everything down. It feels clean and pretty. I'm tired. Wait, did I already say that?

Now it's just the hall way, foyer and stairwell/landing. And all the trim. And touch ups. I'm tired.
