I remarked earlier on that I'm having a really hard time selecting colors.
I'm leaving the
bathroom light gray.
The
kitchen is now Glidden Pebble Gray
The bedroom was a beige. A really dated beige, but the true horror lies in the flowery wallpaper border.
Ugh.

Well obvs the first thing done in there was the sanding and staining of the floors. Next I sanded, primed and painted over the oak woodwork.
We took the border down this weekend. Just hot water in a spray bottle and a scraper did the trick.
Since we only needed a gallon of paint, we tossed around the idea of giving Walmart's brand, ColorPlace, a try. It's nearly $9 cheaper a gallon than Glidden.
However, there aren't a lot of pictures of ColorPlace's colors hanging around the internet. The color chips are small and there's really not a substantial website showing off the colors, or even a room visualizer, so it's kind of a leap of faith.
We went with Mysterious Ocean Fog in satin, as we wanted something relaxing. It's gorgeous!

I dig these pulls! I never know which
controls the fan and which the light. |

I need to get an inexpesive rug, something to put under the bed to protect the floors. I'm going on the third weekend of telling myself we're moving in "this weekend"!
