Why am I so tired?



Last week I decided that I was tired of neutral. Our whole house is various shades of brown from cream to dark brown and I wanted some color. In the top picture you can see one of the test colors that I tried, but it was too pastel so I decided to go for a little more pizazz. It was a fun project, but half way through I thought I might never finish it. I was just soo tired. I was talking to Brenda and I said, "I can't figure out why I'm so tired." Brenda said, "I don't know maybe it's because you're kids are out of school and you have a new baby and you're painting a room." Hmm that could be it. I had a second wind of motivation when I realized that I was having a baby shower here for Sara Baddley. The shower was today and the room looked great.



The lighting in the pictures isn't very good, but you get the idea. I love it, it's sort of a dark turquoise, or according to Behr, Bayview.

Cool, I'm wishing that I would change a little of my plain old drabbiness in my place as well. It looks awesome.

Back to the kitty thing... I was just reading Cody's blog and it made me laugh so hard! All the comments about you Carrie, "You have a cat? Is your mom feeling okay?" and "Tell your parents no more brothers and sisters. Next time you want an animal" Too funny!

Love the new room! I need to see it in person though. Ryan said it looked great and kept going on and on about how great it was! If he wants a blue room he'll have to do it himself. I'm on Summer vacation like my kids - til August 13th. HA!

i totally noticed the room at the shower. so cute. i love that blue. very fun. thanks again for doing the shower. i totally loved being at your home with close friends. it was perfect and i felt spoiled of course. by the way, when you are done raising kids, you need to open a bakery, your bread rocks.
