Biting the Bullet

We are FINALLY painting the inside of the house. We have been talking about it since we bought it, but haven't done it. Tomorrow we are getting our dining room furniture so we wanted to get the dining room painted. We went with a darker green in there.

Also, Paul was SUPPOSED to get his fishtank today. Once water is put in it, it isn't moving - so we had to paint before the tank got brought home. Well, we went to get it and it didn't come in. It was left off the order for some reason. So, the corner where the tank will be is painted - but we still have a long ways to go. We got what we thought was a pale yellow to brighten up the main living space. We are not sure about the color now. I hate that - it always looks SO different from a little sample to a whole wall!

Tomorrow, I will do the kitchen and we will get more paint for the living room - I ran out. The kitchen will be a brighter green - not flourescent, though. Hopefully, everything will blend well. It is so hard to pick colors for such an open floor plan, but I don't like one color throughout the house (especially when it isn't much of a color).

Hopefully we won't be REPAINTING after Christmas! I will give it the rest of the year for the colors to grow on me - if they don't....we will have to do new colors!
