Remember THIS from just a few weeks ago? Well, guess what? It's not an ugly dining room anymore!!! I still have to figure out what to do about the painted-brick fireplace/hearth and mantle, plus tackle the awful bookshelf that still sports the ugly dark-brown paneling and that ridiculous avocado-colored laminate counter...but I'm still SOOOO pleased with how it looks now! Check it out...
I was originally concerned that the white trim would be ugly, but now that it's up, I love it. The white makes that yellow just "pop". It's certainly a TON better than the ugly hunter green trim that it covers!
I did learn one very valuable piece of information: all blue painter's tape is NOT created equal. If you're painting over cheapo faux paneling, do NOT use anything but 3M's blue tape for delicate surfaces. If you do, your tape will pull the paint right off of the paneling....see the brown streak to the immediate right of the window? That was from the cheap tape. I now have to go back and do some MAJOR retouching. UGH!
