Well it's week 5 of the One Room Challenge. Phewf, this project is taking over my life. This week I tackled painting the walls and hanging my chandeliers.

I painted my paneled wall white and my accent wall in this great navy blue. I also have these large bulkheads framing the parameter of the room which will be painted white as well (not shown in the pics below).  


Here are my Top 5 Painting Tips:

1. Start with your light colour first.
2. Use Frog tape (trust me it is the best).
3. If you need to take a break wrap your brushes/rollers in plastic wrap.
4. Always use a primer.
5. Make your coats light so they dry faster and you can quickly recoat.


Now, I'm not sharing any major pics because I want to save some of the surprise for next week's reveal. So here's a sneak peak.



Oh yeah, I also hung my chandeliers but I'm still waffling on the light bulbs. I think I'm going to go with some sort of Edison tubular bulb. Stay tuned.
