VOILA! I'M DONE!

These pictures do not do the room justice! We LOVE our new paint color! I have spent all afternoon yesterday and all morning today working on the fine details. Apparently, I am a terrible painter. Each time I "touch-up" one line with tan paint, I end up having to "touch-up" with the blue or the white, or vice-versa. Obviously, you cannot see it from afar, but it is really bugging me when I look at it up close.

I am having a terrible time picking out curtains ( Chris/ty mentioned this same problem in my previous blogpost comments). I have had my eye on some for months now...as I do a bed...but both are pretty spendy. And let's face it: I am cheap. I usually agonize over something so expensive, shop and shop for something better that is less expensive, and then end up going back to what I had originally loved. Matt usually has to say "just get it!"

On another note...I bought some lamps that I have been really wanting for our room: swing-arm pewter lamps with a cylindrical white shade that attach to the wall. I brought them home and showed Matt. He said "eh". EH?!?! I have been talking about these forever and he doesn't like them!? Luckily for him, I am ok about this decision (I think). He says he doesn't like the cord to go down the wall and be seen...hmm...so back to the store I go. :)

On a completely separate topic, lately when Matt does something cute or funny, he says "put that on your blog!" I think he loves this thing more than I do!

once again...

I am off to the store once again for more paint. That color is too blue for my taste :) Luckily for me, Matt will be sacrificing his "I don't want a dark wall" theme for me! Hopefully this time it will turn out right. That blue definitely did not go with my orange comforter...I am hoping something will because I just got that comforter. I have never felt this picky in my life! And unfortunately, Matt is feeling the wrath...
