A Picture In Your Head....

doesn't always look the same in reality. I got the brilliant idea that I wanted to finally tackle the formal/computer room and our dining room. I got tired of the pink curtains left by the previous owner and the stark white walls. We enlisted the help of Robert's brother, who actually likes to paint (he's crazy people). We picked a soft green for the top of the chair rail in the dining room and living and a deeper green for the bottom of the dining room. In my mind this would look like Oprah's squirmy friend did in. Yeah, it looked like the hospital that I gave birth to Hayden it. I walked in the house took one look and gave a see through fake smile to my brother in law who stood sweating in my dining room. So, instead of relaxing this weekend, my wonderful husband and I will be the ones sweating in my dining room as we repaint it the safe beige that I wanted to go with in the first place. I don't know why I am not girly enough to match, to love decorating, to do all the things most girls soar at. Instead, I'm the girl who hates picking the colors, but I'd be happy to paint, replace hardware, electrical, anything! I just need someone else tell me what looks good. Have a great weekend.
