To Paint or Not to Paint...That Is the Question!

When Drew, Jackson and I bought our home almost a year ago to this date we knew that we had a HUGE project on our hands. Not only did ALL of the flooring have to be replaced, but the entire house had to be painted as well (smokers really do wonders on a home). It took A LOT of time to paint the entire house, and up until this week we weren't even done (our friend just finished all of the doors and trim on Monday). Both of us vowed it would be years before we would ever touch a paintbrush again!

Drew and I might be crazy, but we are already talking about changing some of the wall colors. Let's step back a few days and I will tell you how this crazy conversion began. The day that Shawn finished painting the crown in our bedroom I brought out this beautiful comforter set and curtains that I had bought for the room. Let's just say....Drew wasn't a fan : ( I'll admit, I wasn't crazy about the look either. The khaki color that we had painted the walls (see picture above for a sample of the paint color) made the whole room look a bit drab considering that the carpet in that room is a similar color. Even though we lack a beautiful comforter, curtains and artwork, we are beginning to doubt our color choice.

So the question for the day, family and friends....do we paint or leave things as is : )

(this is the blue color we are thinking about...???)

Love love it! Then again we did just paint our kitchen red! It doesn't hurt to live on the edge!
