We made a decent amount of progress in the den over the weekend. I sanded and primed trim work in there thinking I was going to go with a deep brown but I really like how the white looks so I think I’m going to play it safe and consistent with white. Still undecided on built-ins and beams. Those will be addressed later.
We also got the walls painted. DH and I make a great team. He prefers to roll and I prefer to cut in. A match made in heaven! DH doesn’t think it is much of a change but it is so much lighter and brighter in there!
The walls were a Ralph Lauren Suede treatment which is flat with a sandy texture that mimics the look of suede. The new color is Martha Stewart’s Welcome Mat in satin finish. I love the soft sheen and it seems to give the walls more life. PLUS it is easier to clean up after our very active and creative boy! What finish do you prefer on your walls?

I actually have one suede wall in our family room! It gives a little texture to a very tall wall-but I panic when the boys walk near it! LOL
Keep up the good work! You should be proud-you are doing a great job!
