A New Look

  I have a GREEN living room! I absolutely looove it! I'm not sure if Ben's going to like it but since I'm the one that has to look at it all week I felt like I should get the deciding vote on this one. At first when I got the paint home I had to quick try it out on the wall just to make sure I made the right choice. I was really scared when it turned out to look lime green. I panicked and decided there was no way I was going to be able to sleep know I was going to worry the whole night if I had made the wrong decision ( I know I could always go get a different paint but since we don't have alot of extra money to spare the small fortune to buy 3 cans this time was a BIG deal). Plus it didn't help that I knew Ben would love to say "I told you so".
 I jumped right in by ripping of the stupid wallpaper border that I had put up when we first were married.That was the worst part of the process. I think wallpaper is from the devil. It took me 2 1/2 hours to get it all off. I WILL NEVER USE WALLPAPER AGAIN! I promise! If it comes into style again and I even think about putting it up will some hit me across the head with a 2x4? o.k now that you know my hatred for that evil paper I'll continue. I put the kids to bed and started painting. Yes, I believe from now on I will be painting during the night. I didn't hve to worry about little fingers tesing out the paint or anyone wanting to help. If only I hadn't gotten incredibly tired I would have finished instead of going to bed at 2:30. Instead I finished up today. I am pretty much done except for behing the entertainment center that I need Ben to move for me tonight when he gets home. Thankfully the walls are exactly the color I wanted, and that the "limeness" ended up drying darker! I really wish I had taken a before picture. I'll try to get a after picture up this weekend sometime, but I want everything finished. Now I need to just go shopping for some new curtains and trow pillows. And I need to finally get our current family picture up on the wall { this is really sad but the one i had up until yesterday was before we had Owen or Audrey}. Can't wait until its completed :)
