stripes...

Two of my walls in my living room have always had me stumped. The TV wall is also where our piano is and I didn't know how to decorate. I've tried a long shelf then took it down. Then months later put it back up and then took it down again.

I finally was inspired to paint really wide stripes and I love the look. I love that my sunburst clock looks great there too. We took the stripes around the corner to the other wall behind the couch. I'm not sure what I'll hang there yet.

I'm still amazed at what a little paint can do. My next project is to complete the hallway and paint the bathroom black. Then I think I'm done painting for awhile!
