We're painting.....

little by little. Daddy is only letting us do one room at a time (probably the smart way to go). And we are not taking this lightly. We have been logging hours of HGTV here (even Daddy) discovering what we like, and what we could never live with, and we are figuring it out. Well kinda..... this is what you get when you look at paint samples and they all blend together. You end up with $30 worth of paint testers and lots of little cheap paint brushes in order to smear some colors on a wall. We are focusing first on the master bedroom because we found an awesome comforter set at the JCP home store the other day and with the help of some giftcards we were even able to score some fun decorative pillows...(I'm sure you all would have loved the conversation with my husband about the need for decorative pillows, that you actually take off the bed while you sleep, as well as, his statement up front, before anything was purchased that he would NOT be making the bed on a daily basis. so a deal was struck that only when we knew people were coming over would he indeed need to make the bed.....but i'm way off topic now) Here is proof to the absolute mess I made trying to figure this out

First here are some of the maybe colors with the bedding that we have chosen..... see FUN decorative pillow...totally cool right?



Here is the color we ended up going with (against the trim, and boy was daddy excited that he would not have to paint the trim. I wonder who is gonna tell him that the trim needs painted anyway bc it is dirty and scuffed. could one of you text him please?) Anyway, if you are wondering this is the third color from the left in the above pictures. It is the most bronze of the choices and is called Hat Box Brown (which i read in the store as Hot Box Brown, which really made us wonder) Cant wait to share pictures when all the painting is done!



Oh and this is not $30 worth of testers here, I also picked out some maybe colors for some of the downstairs rooms, but we are only doing this one room at a time so i will have to wait and share those colors with you at another time.
