I did it! I took the plunge and repainted the living room. I say repainted because we painted the living room when we first moved in almost three years ago. (Wow its been three years already!) At the time we moved in I thought there was no way I could love our little bungalow in boring neutral colors. Therefore we painted the living room a cheery yellow and called it a day. I then spent the next two and a half years fighting with the yellow in attempts to make it fit my style. Finally I had enough, and I managed to convince Jose that we should paint.

The Before

The After

Now our living room is a beautiful and workable greige and I am in love lust with it. We I chose to paint it Sherwin Williams Perfect Greige. I had this color matched to Valspar no VOC paint from Lowe's.  I promised Jose that if he would jump on board with me repainting that he would not have to help (since he is not much of a paint lover). However, he was the sweetest and finished the priming for me while I was at work one  night so I could come home rest and then start with the actual color the next day. I am so much happier with the color. I now feel like I can decorate our living room without trying to match everything to a paint color I was not too crazy about.

On another note, I think I have worked out a schedule for blogging twice a week. My plan is to post on Monday and Thursday. I think with my crazy schedule this works best and gives me some direction as to when I am supposed to have something posted. So please check back on Mondays and Thursdays to see what we are up to.
