Are you ready to find out what color we chose?
Things had to get worse before they got better. Take a look at the hall.

I think the lens on my camera had something on it. The love seat that we put in the playroom is an old one but it doesn’t have circles on it J

When talking to my friend Jessielyn who has been hard at work on her home. I asked her how she chooses a paint color with so many choices out there. She said she usually finds something for inspiration first. That is really helpful in narrowing the options down.
I knew I had just the thing. I bought these curtains last summer because I thought the bright strips would be fun for the kids. From there I picked a shade of teal.
At first Big Brother was not so happy about the change to his playroom, but today he LOVES it. I think all he needed was to see the toys back in the room, which made all the difference.
The furniture in the room is a mix of old and new. It doesn’t all go completely with the teal but its ‘perfect’ to the kids and that is what really counts.
Here is another picture of the stripped curtains.

This unit below we bought when we first moved into our home to hold some of the toys. It works really well, and you can insert baskets or drawers if you like. The rest of the toys are in the closet. We have not tackled the closet or the wrinkles in the curtain yet J
I have to give my husband credit. He is the one who did the painting. Thank you honey!!
We have VERY little experience in painting, but you figure it out as you go. When shopping for the paint, we asked what supplies they recommended to make the job go as smoothly as possible. We walked away with one good 2inch brush, a roller and tray, painters tape and an edger. Instead of buying drop cloths we just used old moving blankets. A tarp would also work.
My husband said he felt like he was in elementary school all over again, trying to stay in the lines. J We did some taping but the edging tool proved very useful so we would highly recommend that.
Painting a room works wonders for making it look refreshed and new. If you are feeling stuck, consider painting to help fall in love with your home all over again. It is a great way to appreciate what you have, and makes your love for it even greater when you are done.
Personalizing a space by painting really makes it feel like Home. Pay attention to how you feel when you look at colors and choose one that makes you feel happy, relaxed or cozy, because really that’s what life is all about.
