One word for each colour... LOL Today was a day of painting and I had the headache to prove it. However, amazing progress was made. Of course, paint always makes such a HUGE difference to a room and this was no exception.

First of all, the kids' rooms both had the ceilings done along with the hallway and kitchen. The hallway and kitchen will get a second coat when we do the livingroom and master bedroom... in aweek or so. Then the two kids' rooms got the first coat of their colour. The second coats will be done on Monday.

My son chose a green called "Garland". It's quite dark and I wasn't sure I would like it but it's really a beautiful evergreen kind of colour with just a hint of blue to it.  It is the second lightest on the paint chip to the right.  The inspiration for it was the comforter that we've had for years that he's using now.  We used to use it in our bedroom and then on the guest bed but when his bed wore out and had to be tossed, it was decided that he would get the guest bed so he also inherited the bedding.  :)  He is quite pleased with his room and it will be very nice when it's all done.  He intends to paint his (now blue) dresser in time... and he may make a headboard and paint it, as well, in time. 

My daughter chose a shade called "Desert Sunrise" that seems to have several different colours and shades in the right lighting. It truly lives up to its name!  You can see it as the lightest colour on the paint chip.  She has a jungle themed comforter which it should go really well with and intends to ask her brother if she can use some of his leftover paint to paint her bookshelf for accent.  Her room is a really "glowing" shade and she loves it.  I have to admit that I do, too.  Good thing...  Someday that room may become my craft room! ;) 

Tomorrow is a day off for us, I think.  We need a day of rest but then the next two weeks will be filled with activity.
