The Livingroom Project 2007 - work in progress
Two years ago I painted the right wall, this vacation I finally had time to do the left wall: 9.50 x 2.60 m + piece of wall surrounding the back-window.

This is what it looked like before:
Front...

...to...

...back...


First step of the project:
taking the bookworm off the wall - I had a little help from brotherdearest


You need two people to prevent the bookworm from going all over the place;)


Hans thought the bookworm worked really well as a racetrack: wahey!


Step two: moving the furniture to create workspace




Those vertical window blinds had to be taken down
(thank you mom and Jan for helping me with those;)




A work in progress: the first coat of paint(yesterday)






And the result after the second coat (this afternoon;)







The sunset caused really beautiful colors on the back wall (also thanks to my painted door;)


This weekend I will finish the project by adding some colors... and putting the furniture back... Pictures will be posted:)

Hey - looks good! I'm sure it's going to be great! That's why I want to paint all rooms in our new house before we move in; much easier to paint before we put furniture in there!

Thanks Nina:)

Well, when I moved in here, all the other rooms needed to be painted, but the livingroom looked fine, despite the color. The wallpaper was obviously put on by professionals and I decided I could live with it, since I would be putting loads of stuff on the wall anyway;)
But it's a very good idea to get walls and floors done before putting furniture in a room.
Good luck with the big move!
