Starting the transformation - primed and ready to roll...

Yeah! I'm finally painting the living room. I just wanted something brighter (lighter) since that room doesn't get a lot of sunlight and the green makes it feel darker than it should. I'm only getting started, but I'll post a few pics and then in a few days, hopefully it will be completed!
As you can see from the above photo (please excuse the TOYS - and books), the walls currently are this mossy green. I do still like this color, but it gets greener and darker in the long winter months.
I started with this wall because it's the first thing you see when you enter the house. I thought I would just get a "feel" for the new color by painting it and seeing how I like it for a few days.

But, then I looked at this lonely old wall and decided, "What the heck? Might as well prime that one too!" Hopefully, I will get both of these walls painted in their new color before Brian comes home and he can be the final decider on if the color is great or just yellow. (The new color is called "Toasted Honey" by the way.)
