More Home Improvements

I was so impressed by how the entry way turned out I decided to try the same with the dining room. This was, by far, the ugliest room in the house. Not only did it have a hideous folk art horse border but the walls were painted what I like to call diarrea brown (it's really more of a beige but disgusting nonetheless). Unfortunately the border came off as easily as the other horse border that was upstairs; that is to say, it didn't. I decided to sand the bottom edge and the paper jointes and just prime it before I painted it (whenever sanding inside your home, be prepared for the mess). The room turned out beautifully but I think I'm going to take a break from home improvements for awhile. The living room has a folk art house border with dingy white walls but that will just have to wait because I'm tired.

The green looks much darker in this picture
(maybe I should get a better camera...)
