I love COLOR

I don't love painting. It can be messy and time consuming. But, I do love what a can of paint can do to change the feeling in a room.
Did I mention yet that we just finished a major switch-a-roo of our children's bedrooms? My boys were ready to have their own rooms and my girls needed to move into a bigger room. So the boys split up and one took over the girls old room and the girls claimed the old playroom. Changing a room from a girl room to a teen aged boy's room required a new paint job.
I WILL TAKE PHOTOS OF THE KIDS' ROOMS & POST THEM SOON.

I usually get my inspiration from one of two places: Pottery Barn or Martha Stewart.



Yep, they are great at making a room look amazing so I trust them when it comes to paint colors.

My favorite paint brand is Benjamin Moore. I used their traditional paint for several years and then a couple of years ago I tried their low VOC line called "Aura".
I will never go back! I love the coverage Aura gives and it doesn't stink for days like other paints.

Now that the paintbrush and roller are out of the garage, I have the itch to paint another room! While at Home Depot yesterday to pick up a totally unrelated item, I happened to stroll through the paint section. Now my craft table looks like this:


I think I have the next room picked out that I want to paint. Now I just need to wait until my dear husband goes on a trip since he thinks all the walls look fine. This is how it works; he doesn't want to paint anything, then I paint somewhere, and he is happy and loves the result. We've got our system down!
