Delicious Red

After a long day of paining yesterday, the staircase and the feature red wall were painted once while the ceiling had two coats of paint. Thanks for my two little helpers most of the work was done on Saturday, but there was still more work left to do today.

After a few hours of hard work, the staircase and the feature wall were done! I was pleased with the calm beige colour I picked for the staircase and most of my living space, but I was mostly excited about red hot feature wall in the dining room.

I wanted to paint a feature wall in the dining nook ever since we moved in to our house about a year ago, but I had a really hard time convincing Alex that it would be a good idea. Luckily, I have the advantage of design software and I created this mockup to showcase what we could accomplish.
 
I created this image to illustrate what I wanted to do with the feature wall. I wanted to showcase our travel photos somewhere in our new house and this dining nook wall seemed perfect for it.

 
It turned out a lot easier to "sell" the idea with my visual aid in hand and here are some great photos of the whole process - finishing the staircase and paining red wall.
 

 




Just have to hang our travel photos and we are set!
 
Huge thanks to Anna and Alexandra for all your hard work this weekend. I wouldn't be able to get all this work done without your help!
