Hello All!
I've been doing a lot of driving lately for work and for someone who hates to drive, it's been less than desirable. However, I have been listening to KOOL 108 on the radio, "Minnesota's Greatest Hits," and that in itself has made my time on the road much more bearable. They play classic rock songs like the ones i grew up listening to with my dad. It's fun to play trivia while i drive "Quick, who sang this and what's the name of the song?!" good thing i have the Shazam app on my phone. I'd be screwed! I like the music and it makes me feel good. It gets the good old classic rock songs stuck in my head... Sister Christian, Landslide, Wheel in the Sky (currently stuck in my head), etc. good stuff...
anyway, that's not what i'm here to talk about. I wanted to give you all an update on my home. Some of you have seen pics on facebook or via text messages, but i thought i would share some photos with Gran. Since i know she doesn't have facebook or texting!
Here's a few of the bedroom! Purple Storm and Gravity on the walls....Gravity is a gray color with a very very slight blue hue to it. I'm IN LOVE with this room now! :)
Here is the bathroom that is connected to the master bedroom...and also the upper level main bath. it's hard to get a good photo of the bathroom because of the angles of everything, but it's pretty nice. It was blue and brown before we painted it, but the brown was a really warm, reddish brown that made the room feel too warm and just....well I hated that brown. that's the best way I can describe the color. I hated it. :) We chose a cooler brown and crisp white switch/outlet covers to make the room new. I love this room too...so does Pickles...
Our next project will be to tackle the basement walls. They are a horrible color that is a cross between spring green and split pea soup.... Dad told me Gran would probably call the room "Calf Shit Yellow" so if that gives you any indication of the color... Here are a couple of "Before" pics...nevermind that they are blurry and there are 6 paint samples on the wall (we're not choosing any of those colors either!) The color we're going to paint it is a
Valspar color called Ivory Brown. ( 6006-1C) It was in our townhome and we really liked it there...so we're hoping it'll be nice in the basement. I'm pretty sure it will be. if you click on the link and get to the color explorer page, go ahead and type in the name or number of the paint color in the mid-upper right corner of the page where it says "Find A Color" and you'll see what we chose. anyway... here's the before pics. *Shudders*
Ok..that's enough of house update stuff. Hope you're all doing well. ciao!
