A Fresh Coat of Paint

I love to paint!! Rooms, that is! I also love to rearrange furniture-it absolutely drives my husband crazy to come home and have all the furniture in the house rearranged! The good news is that I stopped asking him for help a long time ago. When I was younger and shared a room with my sister, I would wake her up and announce we were rearranging our room-and much to her dismay, if she didn’t awaken cheerfully to help her neurotic sister, I usually used some type of force to get her to help-sorry Kristin!

So, here it is Springtime and lucky for Jeff I have been working way too much to have time to paint a wall or move much furniture.  But it is coming! ….and soon! I am already looking at ideas of colors and decorating ideas- I can’t wait! I am like a kid in a candy shop-my husband loved when we moved into our new home seven years ago and the walls were all a pristine white. BORING! Not anymore! The kitchen is currently green and yellow-the living room a multiple palette of browns, the toy room is gold, the kid’s room is currently multi-colored with green, yellow and brown and my room our room dark chocolate.  My home office is lime green and a bright turquoise blue.

I can’t wait to start painting and I am so excited I am not sure which room to start with first! The boy’s room could definitely use some updating but unfortunately I don’t want to paint green in it.  When Michael was young I told him that monsters hate the color green and he was in luck because one of his walls is green! Unfortunately he still remembers me saying that!

I have the hallway that I could paint and my bathroom and there is always the stairway leading downstairs-though I haven’t figured out how I am going to reach the top of the cathedral ceiling above the open staircase-so I may have to hold off a little longer on that one!

….and if I don’t like the way it turns out, I will just paint over it!  The nice thing about all of these coats of paint is that our house will be extra insulated from the cold and heat!
