goodbye pecan sandie

i don't like the color on my dining room walls so i've decided they need to be repainted and i think i found the right color(s).....

irish mist is the color of the walls throughout the house and sandstone cove and/or castle path are the colors i'd like for the dining area. What do you think?

Ready to move in...

The house still needs a lot of work, but it's liveable now, if you can do without a kitchen for a while. I'm not much of a cook so that's ok for me.

final color selection

The bf convinced me not to do stripes cause it might make the hallway look a lot more narrow than it is already, (sad face). Although i will always long for stripes and still feel pain for the loss at the chance i am VERY happy to share my final color choices:

Dining Room/ Kitchen Color is....

700C-3

Pecan Sandie (Semi-Gloss)

Living Room & Hallway Color is....

790C-1

painting real and fake wood paneling

"Young House Love" put together this great step by step guide to painting wood paneling. I have one wall in the dining area that has that awful fake wood paneling and i was wondering how i could, 1. get rid of it (may be too much work for now). 2. paint over it (i was scared this option might look horrible, but now that i know YHL has been successful, why not try it?
