Painting Project

I am very sorry for the hiatus! The reason(s) is as follows: We just got a new camera for Christmas and we've been trying to figure out the best way to transfer pictures to the computer--that combined with very little free time to do anything other than feed, bathe, referee, and ultimately further the existence of our children.

Another reason we have been busy is because WE HAVE BEEN PAINTING!

It's been a looonnnggg process for us. But we hope to finish it all today (how many times I have I thought that to myself.) I am also making curtains for the windows. I want to finish them today too.
We let the kids help us a little. Maisy was a little frustrated that painting wasn't as easy as it looked.
If you are thinking to yourself, "Why did they decide on that color?" then stayed tuned.

If you are thinking to yourself, "I LOVE that color! I want to bathe in that color and paint myself that color!" then I hope you won't be disappointed.

We painted the whole room (except the detail work) in *Light Copper* hoping it would resonate a soft gold hue. After staring at mustard yellow for couple of days, we decided it was all wrong for the room. So we sulkily shambled back to the drawing board. The final color we decided on is called *Italian Olive.*

When the room is all done--I promise to promptly post a finished product picture. Wish us luck!
