weekend project

The last thing I really wanted to get done before our families came for the wedding was to paint the bedroom and bathroom. Project - complete. (Okay, so I really wanted a new vanity as well but it ain't happening; no time)

Our day started off with a nice breakfast at our favorite place - Dixons.

It is so unfair that Eric can eat this humongous breakfast burrito and I have to eat a bagel and fruit and fill guilty even about that! I cannot wait for that wedding cake and eating my little heart out that night! Damn diets!

This painting was my inspiration. Eric already had it hanging up but I didn't think the color of the walls looked quite right. Okay, I didn't like that color one bit and I wasn't good at hiding my feelings about it. :)

A couple other before pics


The paint color. Desert Moss by Behr, eggshell finish.

In progress. Such a different color, huh?

And the finished product. I absolutely love it. It totally warmed the place up and that painting looks fantastic.



We got done early enough that we even had time to watch the BYU vs. Oklahoma game and Rockies vs. DBacks. They were on at the same time so we headed down to a sports bar. Surprising how many BYU fans there were. Okay, maybe more of anti-Oklahoma fans. Two great games, one great paint job and one perfect day!

I would defintely take the yummy looking breakfast burrito over a wedding cake. Wedding cakes are SO over-rated. :)

I love the paint job. You need to come down to Douglas/Mexico and help me pick colors out. I have always loved your decorating. Great job!
