My living room paint situation..

I thought I'd just write a quick bit before dinner showing what I did in the living room.  I knew I wanted to paint it when I got here and thought I'd go with something softer so I chose a light wheat paint.  Well, with the white trim it was boooorrrring.  So I decided to glaze it.  I work with glaze all the time with paintings and had done a leather technique in my office which was to use a stippling brush and simply keep pounding until you get the look.  I thought this time I'd just do a light feathery detail with mocha glaze over the wheat paint.

Above see the living rooms original color, a nice mustard gold which I loved, but just needed a change.

Here you can see the glazing technique over the wheat base.

Wider shot...

And here's the finished wall.  It is almost a Tuscan look, but also very rustic and primitive.  As I was doing it I wasn't sure if I liked it, but now I just love it..

I plan to paint my office tomorrow...will get some pictures on of that soon.

Until next time.....
