Out with the Gold, in with the Green!

I haven't been knitting much since the weather is nicer. Instead, have chosen to move onto outside and other household projects that need attention.

Our downstairs has been a multitude of paint colors for over a year now. As well as, not finished. A dear girlfriend of mine strongly suggested I get off my ass and finish the job, and offered to help. Did I mention I love her?

We had a light golden color, along with a red and a tan. On the SW color palette, it looked nice. However, in our open floorplan, it looked like major color confusion.

Dh and I chose Potting Shed Green by Martha Stewart. Lowe's just started carrying a new MS line, and the colors are very nice. We think the color goes well with our country/western decor.

Here's the Gold and Red from before.

And here's the new green. We find it very serene, and our wood furniture pops nicely now.

As you can see, we still need to replace the baseboards that had to be ripped up last year when the water flooded from upstairs, ruining the carpeting. We chose to lay down a laminate floor, and hope to finish the rest of the downstairs sometime this year.

It looks great. But you need to update here more. I'm getting Becky withdrawals. ;-)
