Home improvement

We've bought a new couch. It was delivered yesterday, and is quite nice. But after moving the old sectional away from the wall in anticipation of the new arrival, we realized a new paint job was in order, as the new couch is shorter than the old, and the wall was sporting some serious scuff marks as well as general wear and tear. The wall was painted white (the only color the builder offered) but after thinking about it, we opted to go instead with a tan color for the new coat, as that would match the new couch while complimenting the adjacent maroon wall.

Big mistake, that one.

No, it doesn't look bad. On the contrary, it looks great. So great, in fact, that the project has ballooned to include the entire living room. And now we're rearranging the whole shebang--Lisa's piano moves to the opposite wall, the desk and shelves going upstair into our bedroom... The long and short of it is, what was supposed to be a paint job lasting a couple of hours, max, is now entereing Day 3. At least it looks good.
