50 shades of gray

I was so tired of my dining room. It needed some 'oomph'. But I didn't feel like doing a major overhaul. I resorted to the easiest decorating trick of all: paint!
The sideboard and wall shelf were a pale sage green...SO early 21st Century. Time for something new. I decided to paint them both a dark charcoal gray, "graphite" to borrow a color name from my Jeep!
Both pieces are heavy as HELL, so i decided to paint them in place. I taped off the wall around the shelf with butcher paper and painter's tape and laid newspaper around the sideboard on the floor and went to town.
They both look more modern and masculine, very happy with the results.

BFORE...BORING SAGE GREEN

AFTER...MODERN!
