Happy
Monday, in spite of the brrrrrr around here!
Here’s a quick BEFORE/AFTER for you today about
the amazing power of a few buckets of paint. A certain eagle eyed chica commented about my painted brick on Instagram last night and it occurred to me that I hadn't shared this scary BEFORE with you folks. A few years back I painted the brick fireplace wall of the living room
in our ranch. Now, for a little backstory,
understand that this was battle royale between the mr. and me for about 4 years. I begged him to let me paint the horrible
orangey 70s brick – it was terrible, horrible, no good, very bad and dark in an
already dark North facing room. After
years of my whining, he finally caved.

What a
difference! The paint immediately
brightened the room and had an enlarging effect.
Sorry about the grainy shot - late night Instagram pic. Here are two from last year to give you a clearer picture.
