I love what paint color can do to base housing. It instantly adds warmth, coziness, personality.
And there's no denying that in some of the older housing - you know it's all the layers of previous paint that's helping keep those walls from collapsing.

Moving into the Springs house - the thought of painting these walls overwhelmed me. Too many, too high, too new |
 |
| Madi's room was the exception, of course. She had her bedroom plan executed within the first week or so. |
 |
We played with the other rooms here and there - painting samples, taping up paint chips. |
 |
| The family room got the red accent, the hallway couldn't avoid getting striped - but other than that, nothing bold to be seen. |

Until ... A lady from the neighborhood came over to "Visit" last week.
Her first comment as she walked in, "Wow, it looks like Beige threw up all over in here."
(YIKES!)
I'm sure my face matched what I was thinking because she followed up by saying,"But that's o.k., all our houses look like some variation of this."
Hmmm, that didn't help me any.
So I took my splotches seriously. We jumped in and decided to commit

It looks fabulous! And, with neighbors like that...
I love Madison's room. I also like the color of the front room, butyou already knew that! A can of paint can liven up any room!!! (Plus it is inexpensive too!)
Julie Phipps: I love it all! Color is wonderful. I love that you cared enough to paint your base houses too. We think alike. I love the yellow! Very cheery. ps. your neighbor was very blunt (read rude) but I'm glad it helped you commit.

Tara Bishop Lallatin: Are you trying to get back at Cody's JG post by posting this. It makes me miss you all so much. MEAN!!! But yes, the color and pictures do add so much.

David Lang "...bedroom plan executed..." - Spoken like a true planner. You need to work in the J5.
