New Color of Life

Sorry I have not been blogging lately but life has been busy!
So I have alot to blog about after a month of not blogging..

First up... New Guest Room
Lately I have fallen in love with Gray...

Yes I know this is crazy but I have seen it in the magazines as a new cool color.  

So I decided to start working on my summer project- the extra guest room.  

Joe and I have putting this off for a while now because I did not know what I wanted to do with the room.  But after a lot of consideration, I have decided to turn it into another guest room. 

First process was heading to Home Depot to get some color swatches.  

I brought them home, tapped them up to the wall.  Then Joe and I looked at the swatches in the room both during the day and at night because the shades of Gray really change based on the lights.  Thankfully, we both picked the same favorite.  

Next we headed to the store to pick up the Behr Paint and Primer in one. 

I then came home one night to find the room already tapped!!!

AWESOME HUBBY!!!!

The following night after Joe got home from work we went to work on painting the room.  

We did it all in under 1 hour which was awesome.  

We have gotten so we have a good system of painting.  

I do the trim and touch ups while Joe does the big portions.  

I am also the washcloth lady- i.e if me make a mistake we clean it with a wet wash cloth ASAP so there are less touch up later.  

I decided to also paint the light switches white, they were previously yellow the same color as the room.  I thought the white would help them pop!

 Finish Product!!!!

Now I just have to work on getting furniture which I am hoping Craigslist will help with!!!

My plan is to add a bed, skinny tall dresses and small side table!
