A room makeover and a creeeeepy doll

We got a new sectional this week and moved our old furniture (which we still love) to the front loungin' room. This sectional gives us more space for house guests and is darker (which is waaaaay better with kids). Anyhoo...we decided to finally paint the living room and the ugly red-violet kitchen wall (it looks more red in these pics but believe me it was not). While getting our GREAT deal on our sectional, Mabelle discovered that the mom&pop furniture store had a doll collection and asked the nice salesman for a doll...if her dad could buy one. He was THE nicest salesman and asked her which one she wanted and just gave it to her. It's a really nice doll...but a tad creepy. She calls her Dorothy. She takes care of her, dances with her and sleeps with her.
Dancing with Dorothy.

Talking to Dorothy.
Before the makeover...that's the one red-violet kitchen wall.

Vanilla living room...we had already moved the off-white furniture out. It was a pretty blah room.

AFTER! Painted three walls a light gray (with some blue undertones)...got an area rug and new couch and pillow...that sectional is HUGE, soft and awe-some!
The other living room wall and kitchen wall are now a darker gray...looks blue in this light. But it is gray and a MAJOR improvement!!
