There's No Living in the Living Room

At least right now, there's no Living going on in the Living Room. Unless you count my sweating, stretching and contortions trying to sand, spackle and paint the trim. That's today's project, the trim.

The living room has one big thing going for it that all but one of the rooms upstairs did not have, no cathedral ceiling. Our Living Room has a normal size ceiling and I'm able to get to most of the crown molding with a simple step-ladder. I know what you're thinking, who would want a normal ceiling when you could have cathedral ceilings? Having painted all of the bedrooms and our master bathroom with these beautiful cathedral ceilings, I have to say the fun is in the looking and not in the painting.

All of that being said, the Living Room is a big room and it took me 3 hours the other day just to put the second coat of paint on the room. The trim is beautiful, but there sure is a lot of it to go around the top and bottom of the room and our picture window. In the photo above you can see the new wall color on the right wall and the old color on the left wall.
