Painting

I've wanted to paint more of the house for a long time now, but have never felt motivated enough, or had the time.  So about 2 weeks ago I found the motivation and spent 3 days painting.  I painted the boys bathroom yellow.  I know your probably thinking why would I paint a boys bathroom yellow, well I like yellow, and the decorations in the room are yellow, so that lead me to yellow being my color choice.  Well after one coat of paint I started thinking what am I doing, their boys, they don't want a yellow bathroom.  So I started stressing about it and took a break for a few hours.  When I started again the boys where just getting home from school and I remembered something, I remembered that their favorite color is yellow, and of course they both loved it.  I'm still trying to decide if I like it.  Every time I walk by I think the light needs to be turned off, it's that bright, but it's fun and did I mention, the boys love it!

Next I painted a wall in the kitchen.  I painted one wall red.  I've wanted to do this for awhile too, but worried that red would be too much and look funny.  But I love it.  I think it turned out great, and I even got a complement from Jake.  He thinks it looks really good.  Next spring I want to work on painting the rest of the kitchen and family room, but that will be a big project with all the furniture in the way, so for now, I'll enjoy my newly painted rooms, and start thinking about what colors to do next!
