blush and bashful

 we have trim and windows!
(did we have windows in my last post about this?)



 view from the room into our dining/living rooms- look at all the space!!
(and the front end of bryan's new mini countryman- don't get him started, he LOVES it)


the last three pictures are there to demonstrate my inability to keep the house clean choose a wall color.  as i mentioned before, i was inspired by a color board on 100 layer cake, and also by nicole for having almost every wall in her chicago bungalow pink without it looking like a cotton candy machine.  so we ventured to lowe's, home depot, and our local benjamin moore store, zeke's.  i could write a whole post about how ridiculously overpriced their paint is, but i won't.  i'm sure it's good paint.  after buying four (4!) different shades of pink, and after bryan telling me "i think it's starting to grow on me...", it was time to move on from my vision.  i said good-bye to shelby and her weddin' colors, bluhsh and baysh-ful, and we went with martha stewart's tahini.  it's the top yellow and it reminds me of butter.  always a good thing.  i was happy to discover that the same colors that i had wanted to put with the pink are going to look just as good with the yellow.  i'm pretty sure this is what the color scheme will be:


and just in case there isn't enough, i may throw a little fuchsia in there...  who knows?
