One of my goals while I am off of work this summer is to paint all or most of our house. We painted our living room this spring, but had yet to paint anything else until last week.

Dana stayed with Tony and I for a few days and the two of us decided to paint one of the guest bedrooms that I have had a “vision” for for quite some time. The room isn’t put together yet, but here is what we have so far: (I don’t have any specific before pictures, but here is a picture of the other bedroom that looked exactly like the bedroom we painted)

And here is a picture of the newly painted room:

We love it! I could just stay in there all day. My goal was to find a light, icy blue color that was NOT a baby blue, and I we definitely got it right! The color is much brighter in person; the picture doesn’t do it justice. Now I just need to hang shelves and pictures and paint a nightstand to match and the room will be complete!

A day or two later I was still in the painting groove, so I painted our front hallway the same color as the living room. We are really happy with the way it turned out (aside from a few touch-ups I need to take care of!)

Next on my painting list:
~ The kitchen: some form of a burnt orange color
~ The staircase and upstairs hallway: same color as the living room or a shade lighter
~ Our bedroom: some form of tangerine orange

Bring it on!

Tony and I took our first bike ride of the season today. Last week we discovered a new park in our neighborhood and today we took time to go explore it. We were very impressed! We followed about a mile worth of nicely paved paths through the beautiful trees surrounding the ravine. The trails begin at a park equipped with a basketball court, restrooms, and a pavilion. We’re assuming that they will add playground equipment to make it a complete park! It will be great place to hang out this summer and take our nephew Caiden and new niece or nephew once he or she arrives!

Last weekend while Tony was hanging out with the boys I decided to try some paint on one of our living room walls. Kim was here and helped me! We all really like the color, and we’re planning on painting the rest of the walls soon. I’m also looking online to get some ideas of some fun painting we can do. Maybe diamonds or squares on one of our small walls? I’m also trying to figure out how to use different colors in the room to make it more fun. I’m open to any ideas!

The paint color looks different in real life. And I just realized from looking at the picture that our couch isn’t centered against the wall…I’ll need to go fix that!
