Paint


Well yesterday N. and I got up relatively early (for us anyway) so we could start painting our living room. We chose a "roasted chestnut" color for our focus wall and another color for the subsequent walls. The "roasted chestnut" was done and looking good so we started on the other walls, as soon as I started applying the paint it was TERRIBLE!!! It was a very distinct "PEACH" color, NOT what we were looking for at all. So we made a quick trip to Wal-mart, got some white paint to cover the boo-boo, and bought a new paint color named "Crisp Toast"...it's PERFECT!!! I <3 the way the room looks. We are still having to do one more layer of paint on the last wall (it wouldn't dry for some reason last night and by 11:30pm we were too tired to care). hehehe. Today I have been taking the tape off the walls/ceilings/baseboards/etc, and found we will have to do a bit of touch-ups but then it should be perfect. I loved getting to spend time with N. and accomplish so much!!

P.S.- please excuse the mess, of course everything is in the middle of the room while we were doing our paintly duties :)
