And so it began! We took one weekend and tackled it! We decided to paint the entire basement "Fashion Gray" by Behr. The accent wall was what gave us some stress....and cost us a couple back to back trips to HomeDepot.... :)
Oooh! Check out that guy's nice butt!! :) Dan's so good at taping!
PS-That's my new table from Pier 1! Stay tuned for updates on the chairs I found for it!
So, we thought we wanted an orange accent wall. You would think after the wedding, we would realize how very hard orange is to get right. Many swatches and weeks of debate still got us nowhere! I hate to say we "gave up" on orange, but, let's face it, we did. Plus, it's always hard to get the right color for a basement with no natural light. So, here's our orange test...it was scary!
Not what we were looking for! It looked like a highlighter! We eventually decided on a tealish blue to match one square in the Crate and Barrel pillows I had my eyes on.
Let me give you a reminder of what the basement looked like when we toured the house with our realtor:
