Blue Background Part 2

Home makeover reveals are always better with a "before" photo.

It seems I forgot the before photo.

Here's the best I can do- a photo of our family room from 3 Christmases ago. Ignore the decorations and look at the built-in bookshelves at the back of the room. Rather boring and messy, despite numerous attempts at staging.

Here's what what we did last weekend: 

Happier, brighter and, after a book purge, lighter. And bluer. It's a lot of blue (Benjamin Moore's Electric Blue to be exact) for someone who has painted the last three rooms in her house white, pale grey and white, but I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.
