I have been wanting to paint my living room. So this week Steve and I went Lowe's and I broke down and picked my paint. I just kept standing there looking at the historical colors. I just couldn't decide. Well I finally decided on Caramel.
So I went from this... why does it seem like a lot of stuff when you put it in another room? lol
To this....
A blank slate to start over. Yippeee!!!! So stay tuned to see what I decide.
Funny story...
Today I am at work with a girl I've never run with before. She was looking at her phone and said you gotta see what my boyfriend did in my living room. He hung these pictures over the couch. She shows me her phone and lo and behold a Johnston Benchwork couch with a George Washington and Abe Lincoln pictures hung above. I'm like nu uh. LOL I started laughing pulled my Judy Condon books out and said I decorate the same way. So she took my books and is looking through them right now. Then I showed her my premier issue of A Primitive Place. She is in heaven. She said she just started decorating this way. Today is gonna be a great day!!!!!!
Here's the picture... Stacie was kind enough to let me post this...
It looks wonderful! I know its always hard to choose colors...Im glad you had fun with all the girls..they all said they had a wonderful time! :)

Love the new color and I can't answer the mystery question as to why things seem to multiply once you take them down and place them in another room!
