Five trips in five days...to big box home improvement stores, that is. Jeff and I decided that we really need to just DIG IN to our project, and it seemed like deciding on some general color schemes for the rooms that don't need much other work was a good first step. It was much easier than either of us imagined to agree on some general colors...but then finding the paint that matched our vision was the hardest part! The Villa is in a nice, shady spot, which means color chips that might look beautiful under the lovely fluorescent Home Depot lights arrive at home and look...well...gray. All of them. So we had to do some re-thinking to start envisioning brighter colors than we originally dreamed up. And re-thinking means...more trips to Home Depot (and Lowe's. We don't know which we like better yet). We even took advantage of some down time between a wedding ceremony and reception this weekend to stop by and do some hashing out of paint colors. And, of course, we needed some evidence that we were the best-dressed paint buyers in the store.
The good news is - we're on our way! The second bedroom that used to look like this...
Now looks like this.
I know, wow. Primer. BUT - as of 10:30 last night, there were also paint swatches up on those primed areas, which is a pretty big first step for us! (We have some decision-making to do before our final choice can be publicly revealed, so this is all you get to see for now.) You're looking at our plans for this weekend...with a few friends and a trip to Top of the Park's last weekend thrown in there, of course!
