a LITTLE color
Steve decided a few weeks ago he wanted to paint the living room. I thought about colors for a few days, and decided I wanted something bright like teal. We went to Home Depot, and I picked a color called Mermaid Treasure. He looked at it and said no way! We took about 10 different color choices home (a little of everything) and hung them all up on the wall. One by one we took down the colors we didn't like. We were left with Mermaid Treasure!
I wanted to do the TV nitch and the plant shelf a shade darker than the main wall, so the shade darker on the card was Peacock Feather. Steve wasn't so sure about it, but we got them anyway.
Last Sunday we did the TV niche and really liked it, but it made Steve even more nervous about painting the main wall.
He also took the opportunity to hide the flat screen wires in the wall. Nice job!
I did all the rest of the painting on Saturday while he was out. (Except about the top 4 feet above the fireplace because I'm too short even with the Little Giant Ladder!) I love it! Steve is working on it :) I think it will be even better if we ever get hard wood floors, which has also been in discussion. Here are some pictures.
The camera was being kind of stupid, so they are kind of blurry.

We should have just done the tv niche.
No NO!!!! This is gorgeous! How warm and cozy! And so summery!

We think it looks cool! I was hoping to do a blue color like that in the bathroom. I'm hoping it will feel tropical?
Hey! We're going to be in colorado the weekend of June 20 for Matthew's little brother's wedding! I guess if he's getting married, I should stop referring to him as a "little" brother?
Anyway, we'll be in the Longmont area if you guys want to meet up for lunch or dinner? An excuse to break out the cute and uncomfortable shoes?
Let us know if you're free!
