sneak peek...

i woke up saturday morning and wanted nothing more than to forget about the fact that i'd said i was going to paint. it was a slow start to the day and we got over to the home depot around 2pm. we picked "porpoise" as our colour from the behr collection. (if you click on that link and go to the behr webpage, there's a little pop up saying "announcing the 2010 design and colour trends" and that room in the pic is porpoise!) during the 3pm nap, we filled holes and worked on all the floorboard and ceiling trim.

today i painted two walls while time continued on the ceiling trim. oh man, it's a great colour. thank goodness we forced ourselves to get going. the more we painted, the more we exclaimed how much we hated the original colour. so we still have a couple walls and the hallway left but give us the week and we'll get some photos posted. any tips for places to buy drapes?
