Painting

[revena]

I went to Home Depot today with Mom, and I bought paint, drop cloths, etc. and we started painting walls in my house! Jimmy and I picked four colors we like that we think go well together: a soft gray, a sagey green, a darker green and a slatey blue. The walls in the kitchen/dining area and living room area will be gray, as will the office. Our bedroom will be in the sagey green, and the guest bedroom will be blue. We'll be using the greens and blues as accent colors throughout (blue cabinets in the kitchen, etc.). Mom and I started in the office, and I think it looks very nice so far. Mom's worried that the gray might feel "too dark" if we paint so many rooms mostly in that shade, but I'm willing to risk it rather than have plain white walls.

Well, anyway. I would love to write an interesting post about my interesting day, but painting four walls gray and making fun of my mom when she stepped in paint was about it.

Moms are great about that. If it were up to my mother and my mother-in-law, every room in our house would be Hospital White to "make the rooms look bigger".

Hee! And it has the bonus side effect of making all the rooms reminiscent of, like, hospitals.

I really like the gray we're going with. It's very soft and soothing, but more colorful than the plain, bright white.
