sort of AFTER:
Well-- I couldn't get that corner behind the armoire until tonight when Ross got home and moved it for me, but besides that--- it seriously took like 2 hours. Why does it seem SOOOO daunting? It felt so much more productive than my.... usual routine.
Now---- unfortunately with the blue, there's like 5 more projects that popped out that NEED to be done. But I like it. The whole room was just WAY too tan... my couch is greenish, the blinds that came with the house are brown, the armoire's brown---- too much warmth. I was burning up in there. And blue is the only way I know how to fix that--- :) So there you have it. One more blue room in my house-- and I already feel so much happier in there. I'll try to remember to snap an "after" once it's really put together. I think I'll spray the two frames on the left white, move the armoire upstairs and work on getting some low, white-lacquered something-or-other from ikea for the tv... oh and build some simple white hearth to cover that ugly tile. :) Easy peasy. Hah.
Can you paint tile? That I can do. Would it just look like ugly WHITE tile?

I think it looks great!
I agree. It looks good.
Don't paint the tile. The surface is wrong for paint and I think it would look cheap. You'd be better off covering it up.
awkward blog comment intro: My name is Micaela Webb. I found your blog through Sarah's (who I met in DC) or Missy's (Who I met at BYU) blog. I love your photography and style. Hope you don't mind me checking your blog occasionally. I just thought I would introduce myself. And now I have a favor (can you believe the nerve? Who is this person?) :D What is the name of the paint you used? I love it! I have been searching for a blue for one of my basement walls.
My blog is philwebbfamily(dot)blogspot(dot)com

If you ever decide to get rid of that armoire, I'm ALLLLL over it. I'll even pay you for it :) haha We are dying for something to protect our tv from Cohen smacking it with various objects :)
Nothing like a paint job to transform things. So satisfying!

If Ann changes her mind about the armoire, I will pay you for it too...Good job Lillie, I can't believe you did all that yourself just during a nap time.
