OUR NEW PLACE

We finally moved in! We painted the master bedroom (4 coats to cover the existing red paint), and then decided to go ahead and paint the kids' bedrooms before the new carpet was installed. I guess I really fell in love with painting and how much it transforms a room.

Master bedroom before:




Master bedroom after:




(The picture didn't really do the colors justice. The top is taupe and the bottom is chocolate brown.)

The kids' rooms just had white walls which I loathe. So we did the girls' room in pink, of course (Corinne wouldn't have had it any other way).



Matt really wanted a green room (tree frog green to be exact) but I had to step in and go another direction. I picked a neutral "flax" color.




I think it all turned out pretty well if you don't look too close! Now I am itching to paint all the rooms in our home. That isn't going to happen anytime soon though!
