Goodbye Red


We have lots of warm, cozy memories in our red living room but next weekend we will say goodbye to that color and trade it for something a little lighter. Joel and Nicole are coming to help us with our home improvement project so that we can actually get it done in one weekend. I am excited to have change before the new baby comes. I painted a little when I was pregnant with Violet but I think I will leave the painting to those three and do some other nesting tasks like windows, getting out baby stuff, washing newborn clothes...


The lightest green in the middle is the one we are using. It's pretty much a cross your fingers and hope you like it. I really did love the red but almost 5 years was long enough. It's a perfect color in the evenings or winter months but in the summer you can't quite get it bright enough during the day. Thanks Joel and Nicole - if you remember back to 2007, this isn't the only home-improvement project they have helped with. They helped us finish our kitchen before we adopted Anara (painting, painting, and more painting) and they also helped renovate the playroom upstairs and the girls' bedroom.

Can't wait to see the finished product! Painting is so much faster than say, oh remodeling a bathroom! ;)
