A Little Crazy, Maybe?


As you may know, we've been having a few sleep issues in our house. Even with the bunkbeds, I still end up with both girls in my bed by morning. I made Ali a deal... if she could sleep in her own bed for a certain amount of nights, I would paint her bedroom. She held up her end of the deal {groan} so that meant I "got" to paint. It turned out pretty good, {if I do say so myself} Ali is very excited, and promises to sleep in her own room. While I painted I listened to Tallgrass. Having the audiobook turned out to be great for this weekend's project... and now I'm ready for book club this week!


Now it's my turn. I've been thinking about painting the office for awhile, and now that I have all of the painting supplies dug out of the garage, I just might do it. Any thoughts on which color would be best? They look very similar in the photos... but the asparagus is quite a bit darker.

#1 Cottage Garden
#2 Roasted Asparagus

I like the first one, I think the 2nd might be a bit too dark for all 4 walls...though I think the asparagus one would look nice if you maybe did one wall white??

Ali's room looks great! I love the pink and purple.

If you want a bit less "help," you can always call me to babysit for a few hours. I have Mon/Wed/Thurs nights off every week. :)

I love the "rainbow" room!

If the greens are compatible, use both.....the dark one on one wall and the lighter one on the other three. (That's what Mike did in my room and I really like it.)

HOW DO YOU FIND TIME OR ENERGY TO PAINT A ROOM???!!! INCREDIBLE. (Especially with ALL your help!)

XOXO

Dude...I can't believe how you did that room with both girls under toe! It looks amazing. I vote for color number one but maybe I should come check them out in person. I love picking out paint!
