Decorating Before and After
When we moved into this house, there were several red and taupe accent walls which were not only too stark but very poorly done (uneven edges and messy looking). Well, the painting is finally done and I'm so happy with the results!
I think the new neutral color looks fabulous. It's been especially good for me, as the red was just an agitating color to look at. The color red tends to "close in on you" plus it's been known to actually raise your blood pressure as well as your appetite (which I certainly don't need, thank you). Check out the results! (I've also updated my Castle tour.) I actually feel more peaceful in this house now that the red is GONE. :) Yippee!!

It was a lot of work to prime and paint over the dark red but it was worth it. I'm soooo thankful for my sweet husband and sons who did the majority of this tough job!

You're right about paint color and mood. I feel so much better in these more neutral, soothing colors!
Thanks for sharing the pictures. Everything looks so much better without the red. Good job!
