Progress!

Friday night, we made a trip to Lowe's to get a few things to finish up the fireplace project. We decided to buy the paint for the accent wall, too, so that we could paint the area around the fireplace before Mark hung the mantel. Realizing that it wouldn't take too much time or effort, we decided to just paint the whole wall! And here's a picture of the results: We're so excited to see progress in the living room. This morning, I went to the carpet store to pick up some samples. Mark and I cannot wait to say "ba-bye" to the ugly blue carpet. We're making plans to paint the other three walls before we get the new carpet ... it's motivation to get it done!
