It's a very gloomy day so the lighting isn't the best.
I still need to do a little more tweaking, but you can get the gist of it.

I asked my sweet hubs for an honest thumbs up or thumbs down.
I got a happy thumbs up! Woo-hoo!
(Heck, I knew I would!)

He even admitted the room looks much bigger now.
Tsk. Tsk. He should never doubt his wife.

Man, I worked up a sweat wrestling and hanging my Betsy Ross Flag fire board into place! Those pieces weigh a ton!
I should have used a double layer of Degree.

But she really pops now, doesn't she?

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone. ♥
I cannot believe how much bigger it looks. I've always known lighter walls make a room appear bigger. But until I actually did it, I had no idea how it truly does!
I still love the Graham Cracker Crust color I had on the walls. But with only two windows, it made the room too dark.
Thanks again!!

Hmmm... I wonder what I'll paint next??!!
