For those of you who have been to our house, I have GREAT news! The yellow is GONE from the downstairs bathroom, the upstairs bedroom, and most importantly, from the upstairs “bling-bling” bathroom. Also, we took the “burnt orange” color out of the downstairs bathroom, and painted a lighter shade of brown to complement the dark brown that is already in the room.
If you have not yet visited, I can assure you that you won’t be sorry that you missed all the yellow. I like yellow, don’t get me wrong. But there was way too much yellow, in way too many shades. The main living area is still yellow, but I actually think that’s growing on me.
So how did so many rooms get painted so quickly, you ask? Well, let’s just say that we have to give many thanks to my WONDERFUL cousins who came up on Friday night to help. They were great workers, and real troopers! We worked most of the day on Saturday, and then we had pizza and “Wii’d” until very early in the morning. My cousins are very fun, and as I high school teacher who works with teenagers every day, it was very interesting to have 4 teenage girls in our house for the weekend. We learned all about how kids “text message” in school. I’m glad that they shared their secrets!
We haven’t quite gotten the rooms back together (that is on this week’s agenda). But, when we do, we’ll post some pictures of the improvements. It’s amazing how different a room can look by simply changing the color of the walls!
We still have to paint our nursery!
