As I mentioned yesterday, I've been working on my own project at my mom's while Jon tackles the walls in the kitchen. That project is painting the main entry and hallway. It's been a mauvy cocoa color for over 10 years now and my mom was ready to brighten it up a bit. The new paint color is called Weathered Wood by Valspar, and it definitely makes the space seem so much lighter and brighter. Look at the difference in the two colors. The second coat is going up tonight so I'll be back with final shots tomorrow, but here's the difference just from the first coat. I'm also heading to Lowe's tonight to pick out the kitchen paint color. Hooray for new paint!
