Melted Chocolate Bars

Melted Chocolate Bars has been the consensus for the color of my recently painted walls. The actual color is Terrazzo, but Melted Chocolate sounds sweeter. After being here almost a year, I have finally added some color. And, I might add, I hate painting. The prepping was a pain. Then it almost felt like it wasn't worth it when I had to touch up the corners; stupid textured walls. It took almost three coats because of the texture on the walls; it was difficult to see the patches I had missed. I am even more grateful to our friend that painted our house when we first bought it. I might even hire out to paint an accent wall next time! I still have some work to do; curtains, additional decorations, now lighting. But, alas, I love the new color. My house feels warmer and more homey (not homely).

    Where did you the thing over your fireplace? I want something just like that!

  2. It was a gift from my husband; it might be the only thing I own from Pottery Barn.
