Painting

I've decided to repaint my living room. The current color on the wall right now is dark brown. I don't know what I was thinking when I picked this color 5 years ago. It is very dark that it makes my living room look so small. My husband and I decided that we need to go with more of a neutral color, lighter and so on. I've already started to put some primer on the wall. It is taking me a long time to do it though. I've been putting two coats on each wall. I have 2 more walls to go..... It is tough to deal with two little kids, but this needs to be done. We are thinking about putting our house on the market in the next few years, so we really need to keep working hard to make this house to stand out. Wish me luck with our home projects.
