The colors of my home

So this week in home ownership.....the art of painting. Yes this is the part of owning a home where you try and cover up the hideous and not to palatable choices of the previous owner, or just try and give the house a nice refresh. If you are us that means just picking new colors, cause simple touch up on the current paint isn't going to cut it.

I went to the Depot on Sunday after a morning at a home show (which had some fun vendors, but overall was a bit ahead of where we are in the home renovation project....ex. vendors for windows and doors; we want to replace all of these eventually, it probably won't happen till the next calendar year at least....or the booths for kitchen and bath renovations; again definitely in our future, but this one may be as much as two years down the road). So yes, went to the Depot and bought some of our paint for the house.

We went with a green for the master bedroom and a blue for the guest bedroom (but I cannot remember the name for the life of me, so no pic), a red for the living room, and a yellow for the kitchen and dining room/office. What do you think?











I think it will look nice. E is a bit worried that we are being too colorful in our choices, but I am sick of white walls after years of apartment living where I wasn't allowed to paint. Bring on the color I say! We still haven't decided if the yellow is going to carry over into the hallway or if we are going to purchase a 5th color......I'm inclined to say no 5th color (hey I like colors, but there is a limit), but we'll figure that out once we get a little color on the walls. Plus there is the bathroom.......hmmm.... What goes well with maroon and grey tiles? Anyone? Yeah, there's a reason we're still mulling this one over.

E had the day off today and so has been painting all day long, and I am joining him soon. So hopefully there will be some great pictures to post of all the wonderful progress we are making, hooray!
