Color Goes on the Walls! Not a Boring House!

On this cold - windy - damp, Sunday afternoon, after Colby & I got home from church & she had All-State Chorus practice - we started painting her bedroom. Her Dad was not too sure about all the color she had planned for her walls - but as the afternoon progressed she proved that her ideas turned out pretty cute! Very much a teen-age room! She had to sign the wall before she painted it over - but says she will always know it has her name under the paint!
Josie came over when we were about done to see the finished product so she & Colby 'ta-dah'd' the walls! We still have to paint the white in the white stripe, but you get the picture here anyway!
Here is the view of the room from when you walk in the door from the east.
This is the parlor room right off the entryway in the front - that is one of the archways on the right & it opens to the entryway & stairway.
This is our master bedroom - most of the walls are called 'Earthy Merlot' (very pretty color!) & then the north wall is a grayish green color - quite pretty together in real life! I still have to trim up next to the ceiling on the green wall, but all the other walls in there are done.

We have painted on Thursday & Friday all day (until it was time to go the sporting activities in the evening each day) then Sat. morning I trimmed out the dark color in my bedroom before I went to town & took pictures for a wedding (I was the wedding photographer, for the first time - besides like taking lots at Cassidy's this summer!!) along with the great help from my right hand assistant - Miss Colby! She was excellent help & I don't know if I could have done it without her! Then today Colby & I painted starting at 2:30 & got her bedroom almost all finished. There is still that white stripe & we ran out of the brown & have to finish up with some of that in her closet & cubbyholes!
It is fun to see the house coming to life with color! Several rooms are done & a couple more are almost done & there are a couple that haven't been started yet, but it is definitely making progress! Still have staining & varnishing to do but this has been a nice change for awhile!
