More than spackle and paint.

That was the way the realtor rightfully described my little house.  Still, some spackle and paint can go a long way toward improving a room.  That, and removing the ridiculous wire shelves which had been installed everywhere in the bath and kitchen.

I decided the half purple, half beige room needed to be painted (well, that was obvious).  What I really decided was it had to happen now, and not wanting to spend money for what might be a temporary paint job, I looked over the orphan paint colors which the prior owner had left.  And so with the help of some Martha Stewart Sea Mist Green originally mixed in 1998, and even a roller and brush left in the house by the old owner, I made a surprising improvement.
