2/28/11: We all need some color in our lives

When we first bought our house everything was cream. Cream carpet, cream walls, you get the point.  Paul has wanted to paint just about every room since the day we walked through the doors.  I kept telling him no because frankly it sounds like a pain in the ass.  It sounds like a PITA in general but factor in that every single room in our house has high ceilings, PLUS the kitchen, dining room, and living room all have vaulted ceilings, no way! I always envisioned tons of arguing between Paul and I just like any other home project.

As the years went by, I gave in here and there.  I first agreed to a red accent wall in our dining room.  It seemed easy, it was one wall, and it spiced up the room.  When I got pregnant with Morgan and started decorating her room, I knew we needed paint for sure.  This was the first room that was actually going to be decorated in full, with new furniture, and everything would match.  We weren't college kids anymore, we were going to be parents and our kids room had to look suitable even if the rest of the house didn't.  Next, when I got pregnant with Rylee we moved Morgan to a big girl room.  Maybe I was just nesting with both of them but I had so much fun with Morgan's big girl room!

Last week I got the itch to do the girls bathroom.  Something has just never felt right in there to me. I had redone the decor a few times and it just didn't feel finished. So I decided it's just the bathroom let's do it!  Here are the finished shots.  Paul did a pretty good job AND he even did it without me asking! Score!



Don't mind the little butterflies, I haven't put them all back on the wall yet.


Now I'm contemplating painting the living room. Lord, help us!
