A New Coat of Paint

We love our house but have never been really happy with the bland flat white paint job. We had talked about moving the boys into the biggest bedroom for a while, and one Saturday we decided we should just do it. So a couple weeks ago we cleaned out what had been the guest bedroom and got ready to paint. These are some before pictures of the bedroom here below.

Kind of ugly, eh?

We went to get paint and looked at various shades of blue. We got a little adventurous at the store and ended up going with a darker shade of blue than we had originally envisioned. We think it turned out great though! What do you think?








With the boys in their new bedroom we also cleaned out Ed's old office and turned it into the playroom. Now that the boys have a room for their toys our living room is much cleaner. We will paint this room too sometime, anyone have any good color scheme ideas?
