Its amazing what a coat of paint can do!!
My old living room looked like this:

Excuse the old picture from when our house was on the market 3 years ago. I naturally forgot to take a picture before I started. It was nice, but a bit dark. The tan walls had a bit of a green tinge, the red curtains didn’t lighten things up any.
So I grabbed a bucket of paint and went to town. This is Natural Almond by Behr. Then, I headed to Target and picked up new orange drapes on sale for $14 each. Added two throw pillows and voila!


Its so much brighter, isn’t it? I just love it! Blue and orange is my new favorite decorating combo!



Melissa, I’ve never used Behr paint before. How many coats did it take you to cover the tan with the lighter color?
