This week, we finally got rid of the last of the orange by painting over the final wall in our family room. It was so much easier than painting in the kitchen, because there were no cabinets or appliances to have to paint around.
Here is the before picture of the room, again from the realty listing (with the former owners' furnishings, etc.):
Here is our repainted wall (we left the green wall as-is; it's not a bad color, when it isn't paired with orange...):
And another view, including the Christmas tree:
And, of course, Marble is in both pictures. They are both constantly either running around like crazy or lazing around on the coffee table:
Formerly a child's bedroom, it was all decked out in dark blue and bright orange (not sure if he was a Bears fan or an Illinois fan...) We weren't sure what color to go with, but ended up going with "Chocolate Froth" from Behr. It's definitely a lot more neutral than before:
We've now painted almost every wall in our house. Still up: the bathroom and the office, both of which are OK colors. But I think we'll still paint them :) No more orange walls left, though! Whew.
