A New Look

I love the color green.  I think there is something soft and inviting about it...unless you pick the wrong shade of it.  In our first house, we painted our living room a light green color - we weren't a fan but we were too lazy to repaint so we kept it.  Moving into this house, we decided we were NOT going to use the same color...but lo and behold I somehow picked the EXACT same one.  UGH!!  Since we were painting the entire house at the time, we left it and I tried decorating around it.

Well, enough was finally enough. 

We got 5 of our own paint samples and our neighbors who are doing the same gray analysis let us borrow several of theirs as well!  We were not going to make the wrong choice again.  We went with the square below the large dark gray square, it's kind of in the middle.

And a few hours later, ta-da!!  It's a brand new, fresh looking color.  I love it.  It's Behr's Classic Silver.  At first we thought it might have a purple tint to it, but the green was making it look that way.  It almost has a blue tint to it, but either way, it's SO MUCH better and Justin and I both really like it!!

Now for new countertops & backsplash and new art on the walls.  It's never really just a simple paint job...
