Project 1: Paint  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oh, the power of paint. I\u2019m not the first one to discover this, but I sure can vouch for it. When we purchased our Riverdale Ranch, it had been smoked in for 30+ years and you could tell. We had to clean, prime and paint the entire house- walls, trim and doors. <\/a>See my detailed post here<\/a> <\/em>if you need to know hot to get rid of interior cigarette smoke smell naturally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After painting lots and lots of samples on the walls, I decided to go with Agreeable Gray<\/em> by Sherwin Williams. This greige looks so perfect and creates a warm, neutral base to start from. I decided I liked a white color below the chair rail, and used Alabaster<\/em> by Sherwin Williams to match the trim.  To learn more about painting an interior room, read the step by step tutorial here. <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were moving from a very small apartment, so we didn\u2019t have formal dining furniture. I was given advice to not rush through decorating our first home, to take our time and carefully choose pieces we loved and would continue to love for years to come. I agree with this advice to an extent, but also disagree . <\/p>\n\n\n\n
