Apartment Makeover – Painting an Accent Wall

by ThallenBLiving on July 27, 2010

I’ve been an official New Yorker for over a year now! To celebrate, we decided that our apartment needed a makeover.  The hubby and I needed something chic and sophisticated to reflect the new “grown-up” phase of our lives.  So far, each of our decorating decisions have been carefully considered, mainly so that we don’t regret our purchases later.  I’ll make to sure to keep you guys updated on the changes we’re making, and especially on the end-result.

The first major decision we’ve made is to paint an accent wall.  We decided on BayLeaf from the Martha Stewart Living Collection at Home Depot.  We purchased the eggshell finish (which is the finish between gloss and flat), and it looks AMAZING! The hubby did all the hard labor (i.e., rolling the paintbrush), but I taped off the edges with painter’s tape.  I’m really pleased with the result… it was a quick, easy, and inexpensive update!

    Paint may help to make room look lighter and spacious; whether for apartments and any types of homes. Maybe, to some of us, choosing and combining colors is quite difficult and confusing. If that so, you may do a research and better ask an expert about it.

    The features of your home can show your personality and your status! That's why you can enjoy a makeover project for your home! You can express things that you want, especially in painting walls and choosing accessories. Of course, a good plan is important in a makeover project to avoid any hassles during the project.

    Nice – brave choice of colour  – it’s nice when it comes together!
