Still, the paneling made it feel like a cave and my mission to banish all 70's paneling must continue. I guess it was kind of cozy, but all of our furniture just felt like it was invisible against the brown. Here are the before shots:
Since its just the 2 of us these days, I don't keep any leaves in the table, but I have 2 large leaves that I add when I have a crowd:
I have 2 hides that I keep under the table too, but they were out on the fence waiting to be whacked with a rug beater. One more wall waiting for Kilz:
I used a color called Heath:
The red curtains have to go now.
But this room is done. Up next - the kitchen. I hope to tackle it after the 4th.

What a difference! You should pat yourself on the back for a job well done. Lovely color!
An amazing difference - I really like the color you selected. Nice job!
Ahhh, that has to make you feel good every time you walk into the room!
Wow! What a difference! The color makes your furniture stand out now. What are you thinking for curtains? Nicely done--it's such a satisfying feeling isn't it to get such a big job done?
Looks good! It's amazing what a little paint can do.
Looks good. I like the unpainted trim.
Nice job, Karin. It looks cool and refreshing.
Wow, the room has come alive, while still feeling a little rustic and very cozy!
This from someone who still likes a wall of paneling in a room now and then! : )
Amazing what some paint can do Karin, looks great!
Wow! What a difference! You are right, the furniture did disappear before, but now you can really see how lovely it is! Looks like a completely different room.
It looks great! I too love the color, congrats to you. I don't have leaves in my table either. Our place is too small. Thank you for all the pictures. Your home looks wonderful.
That''s my problem too! TOO much WOOD!!!!!
It looks so different . . and beautiful! Maybe you've inspired me to get some much needed painting done.
Paint makes it all look so new. Beautiful job, makes your furniture stand out and inviting. You're a great home maker. Nothing out of place.
Heath! Like Tommy Heath? ;-)
It's a lovely color. Hi, Karin!!!
That looks great! It looks more open and inviting and brightens up your furniture too. Job well done. Moving all that furniture would wear me out before I even starting the painting. whew.
It looks very nice! A real improvement. :-)
I have followed you for sometime, love reading about the ranch and what you as "Ranch Momma" have to do, and your quilting is awesome and inspiring. Now your a painter too! The room is astonishing different, and your right the furniture just pops right out at you. Thank you for sharing with us.
