Projection

This week Graham and I have been taking part in some major projection...the act of doing projects, that is. We have resolved never to paint another room again. I don't think we are particularly talented at it; as it took us four (yes, four) coats to get the wall to stop looking streaky. Our dining room is now exactly how we want it; which feels so good. It went from red-horrible-floral-wallpaper-border to red-on-our-terms. Here are some pictures of the process.
Before...ugly wallpaper
I was in charge of peeling off all of the old border
and Graham was in charge of sanding
The end! TA-DA!

Then we got these candle holders at Target to put on the blank wall...we like the candles the best...does anyone want to stick up for the flowers?

The dinning room look awesome! You two did a really great job! I like the flowers, but maybe you should try something the size of a gerber daisy instead of the dandelions???? Did you really use dandelions or was that my eyes playing tricks on me???

LOVE YOU BOTH ... MOM
