Tackle It Tuesday: Living Room

Well, it's taken nearly a month of random nights and weekends working on our living room...but it's finally finished. We still have some final touches left to do, but overall, it's complete.

Let's start the before and afters:
The room was a light gray done in the ragging technique. Ugly. The trim was an off white which looked old and drab next to the white windows. The mantle had a large, old mirror from end to end and up to the ceiling. It was huge. It was already taken down when these photos were taken. We hope to replace the brass fireplace cover in the future, as it is also very ugly. Now, we had to work around the burgundy carpet. It's not in the budget to replace right now and we figure as long as there are little ones around spilling things on it, we might as well keep it. So we chose a nice, warm, neutral tan for the walls.
