Painting Walls

We wanted to paint a wall in our bedroom, a wall in the living room, and the entire media room.  We waited until we pulled up all the carpet for the flooring installation.  I didn't realize painting was that tiring, but I've never painted that much either.  Thankfully none of the walls in our house are white.  Andy and I vowed to never have just plain white walls in a house again.  We just like the light beige color for walls so much better.  They just seem much warmer than white walls.  Now, there are some room designs that I have seen recently with white walls and it's beautiful.  I just don't want white walls in the entire house.

Andy painted the blue wall in our bedroom.  The brown curtains are absolutely hideous, in my opinion.  They were the curtains left by the previous owners.  I will definitely be replacing them, so try to ignore them in the picture.  We had a light blue wall in our bedroom at our old house, and I definitely wanted something darker.  This color turned out perfectly!

Andy wanted light gray walls for the media room or man room as he calls it.  We love, love, love, love the wall color in this room.  Definitely one of my favorites!!  I think it is Andy's favorite wall color, and I know it's his favorite room in the house.

I am not a huge fan of loud, bright color.  However, I went to a friend's house and she has a Tiffany's blue color wall in her living room.  I fell in love!  I told Andy that in our living room I wanted a bright, loud color.  I told him that I wanted people to see the wall and think "wow, that is unexpected but it looks great."  And boy did I pick a loud and bright color!!  It's called Granny Smith Apple...

While we painted, Andy kept singing "Casa Ole..."

It has dulled significantly over the past few days and looks fabulous!  It is no longer a lime green color, but actually looks like a Granny Smith Apple.  I love it!!  I need to take a picture of what it looks like now.
