The Painting is Done!

Finally! The color we picked for the kitchen was a bit light, it would have looked great in a baby boy's room, but not in my kitchen! So we chose a little bit darker blue. It looks great! The bedroom was such a pain in the rear! I think at the end we had about three different colors on the wall. I wanted a nice relaxing green, probably because I am starved for green right now. When will spring be here? But the first color I chose looked seafoam green when on the walls, so I went for a light blue/gray. I swear the temperature of the room went down 10 degrees just from the color on the walls. I felt like I was in an ice cube! I was so frustrated and was a little gun shy about picking another color. It is just so hard to imagine what a color is going to look like on the wall from those little paint swatches. My husband suggested looking at books and magazines to get ideas. To make a long story shorter, I found the perfect color of green! I'll have to take pictures once we get moved in. Overall I think we wasted about $100 in paint looking for the perfect colors! The skinflint in me is cringing right now!

There has been zero running and zero knitting in the past week. I have been scrambling to get things done so we can move in this weekend. Hopefully then things will slow down a little so I don't feel as rushed all the time. But the painting is done, the house is clean and all I need to do is pack whatever is left to pack, which is actually about 3/4 of the townhome! I think I am going to go crazy!!!!
