Virtual Fun with Paint

I've enjoyed testing some of the colors that I've picked out for the house with the Lowes online virtual painting software . Below is a photo of what my kitchen cabinets *should* look like when they are finished. Mind you, the photo is not one of *my* kitchen, but it is just used to show how the wall and cabinet colors will look together. I think I've finally, for the 12th time, decided on Homestead Resort Parlor Sage for the walls. Yeah, I know. Last time it was something different, and the time before that, too. But I've decided to try and only use historic colors and this one is quite pretty, though it is a little darker in the photo than it's suppose to be. See how the kitchen and dining concepts are starting to coordinate? Remember, it's all one big room.




I'm still having trouble picking a final color for the living room. Everytime I think I have it, I start doubting myself. I really don't know if I should go with an ever so slightly orangy yellow, or a "yellow-er" yellow, or with a light yellow. Here are the three historical colors that I'm bending my brain around. Ugh. This is hard!







Saturday, Jeff and I got some work done around here, though I didn't get anything primed as I had planned. I needed to finish (yes, I said FINISH! I'm finished!) my last stencils, sand them all a bit, and then wipe down the walls. Jeff worked in our gutted bathroom. He moved the bathroom door over 10 inches to the right to keep it from banging into the newly relocated toilet (the toilet isn't installed yet, but when it is installed, we don't want to be whacking it - or whoever is sitting on it- with the door everytime we walk in). We also brought in the new vanities/sinks to try to get an idea of where we want them installed.

Before the weekend is out, I would like to get our living room ceiling painted and maybe the kitchen primed. We shall see:)
