Paint!

It's finally time to choose paint colors. A few weeks ago, our builder Stan said he needed to know colors before Christmas. This seemed like plenty of time, but then we got hit with some late nights at work, early morning meetings, the token company holiday parties and more work, until we realized, "Holy crap - we only have a week left to choose!"

Like everything, we've had a lot of back and forth on what to do. All off white? Off white with accent walls in bold colors? A subtle color throughout?

Yesterday we rounded up as many color palettes and wheels we could find and sat down in the living room for a few hours and really talked about it. We looked at magazines, pictures of friends' homes, and discussed our what would go with our existing furniture.

Then we headed out to the stores for about 20 test pots. This morning we're going to paint a bunch of big swatches, take them down to the house and decide!

All of this running around made us pretty hungry so we stopped off at Denny's for a healthy, low cal meal.
