red white yellow blue

We had another morning discussing paint colors for the kitchen.

We still have reached no conclusion my friends.

All the other rooms we have sorted out.

Caleb’s room is wood panelling. Not my favorite, but it works for now. So we are going to leave it as it is for as long as I can stand it. Eventually his room will become the diningroom and maybe many years down the road we will build a sunroom off of it, so I { trying really really hard to } am looking past the panelling for now. Yes. We dream big. I love that our property is huge! The possibilites are endless.

The girl’s room is going to be white, and a super soft yellow. Thankfully we already have those colors chosen and the process wasn’t super painful.   { Meaning I got my way } Their room is super tiny, perfect for a set of white bunks, and a white dresser. Secretly I think it is perfect for them. Quaint and Cozy. Neither room has no room for  a ton of toys which makes this mama super happy. Finally I will have a playroom for them to mess while their rooms stay clean.

Now for the big announcement of the year…..

Michael gave me free reign to decorate our bedroom.

All of you who know him feel free to gasp now!

{ Only took me 8 years to gain this permission }

The walls are going to be a French white, our furniture is black, and our bedding and curtains are white. I have been collecting some awesome creme- antique mirrors that will pretty my walls. I have plans to buy a fluffy white rug to go under the bed too but that may take some time to climb up the priority ladder! I have a feeling that our room will be my favorite room in the house! It is going to be so lovely.

The living room is blue right now, and will stay blue for a month or two or three. It looks fine, not my favorite- but I can handle blue for awhile. Especially since we are for sure taking out that fabulous blue carpet. I have hopes that Michael will let me paint the walls French White as well, but shhh don’t tell him.

I can’t really picture the bathroom. I know it has wallpaper..or at least i think it does. And eventually I will want to change it up. But to be honest, I really don’t care at this moment.  I am just excited that it has a window. One day we will be fighting over bathroom colors, but not today.

Now the kitchen.

We have issues.

We have chosen already two whites. An ultra pure white for the wainscoting and trim, and antique white for the cupboards . We are putting up a white { tiny square} backsplash as well. And by we I mean Him.

My vote for the wall color is a soft grey.

Michael wants a rich color.

Now I should just give in and let him have what he wants. Especially since he has been so generous with the girl’s room and our room. He also has spent the last three weekends redoing our table set. He is a rockstar. So I really should give a little.

My issue is not that I don’t want to give him what he wants but because the kitchen/eating area is so tiny. I am worried that a rich color will shrink the walls more. I can’t have that. He thinks that a soft color will make it look blah. He can’t have that.

So what are we to do?

We have decided to wait to choose. It’s not worth tearing each other’ s eyes out.

Thanks for listening to my paint rambles, all an excuse to put off cleaning our stupid apartment blinds. That sadly I cant put off any longer.

Why people why? Do we ever but metal blinds. Never again. Window treatments in my new home are going to be wood. Easy to clean. Simple.
