Living Room Revamped

When we bought our entertainment center almost 2 years ago, I told Levi I'd only get it if he promised we could paint it black. So this month, I decided it was time to finally revamp it. Cami has done lots of projects with spray paint and so she held my hand and helped me, layer by layer and can by can.

And so, we started out with a plain veneer entertainment center from Shopko.



After 5 cans of gray Valspar Perfect Finish Primer....


And FOURTEEN cans of Rust-Oleum Black Lacquer...


It is finally complete. :D



We've also been talking about getting a love seat for months, so I figured while we were in the middle of improving the living room we'd better do that too!

(Nevermind the random gun... this was in the middle of hunting season, after all.)
And since we were having fun with the living room, I decided to spruce up my plain, boring washer and dryer as well. I saw a blog about painting them a while back, but Levi said no way because they would just scrape and peel every time we move. Too much truth to that statement. So, I went with a simpler approach.



Vinyl stickers. Pretty whimsical, I know, but I like them. :D And I plan on changing the colors seasonally.

Now that we've got it all put together, it finally feels like home!
