Change of scene.

Tomorrow we will be painting the master bedroom an actual color. This is hideously exciting to me because our walls throughout the house, except for the kids' rooms and our bathroom, are all blah beige. It may be officially called "vanilla creme" or something like that, but it's blah beige with white trim.

Before-and-after pics will be forthcoming, but I am excited for the transformation. After so many years of frequent moving it has taken over four years in this house before it's started to feel like it's really ours. The paint is just a sign of taking ownership, and it was fun to pick something without worrying about resale potential or alienating buyers (not that it's not a great, livable color!).
