Lighter and Brighter Den

Finally, I have an update on the den redo. Project Lighter and Brighter continues around Sagebrush Ridge.


This is another $7 gallon of oops paint. A warm light beige.


As you can see, there is still a lot to do in here. 


The wall above the sofa will eventually get three mirrored panels mounted above it. 


The coffee table is in need of refinishing, as are the desk under the television and the small table next to the sofa. I'm also seriously considering painting the armoire, but Mr Shawn isn't thrilled with the idea. We shall see. For now its good enough. It gets used regularly by the girls, especially after school. They can come in , drop their stuff, spread out projects, eat snacks and hook their tablets up to the tv...all without Mom complaining that they have taken over the entire living room. 


Here is the before. Dark, cave like little room with absolutely no windows. The dark colors on the walls certainly did not help. I like the new lighter and brighter look. So, any suggestions on the finishes for the tables? Should I just refinish the wood? Paint? Sand it down and go rustic? A combination? How about the armoire? Yay or Nay????
