Spring has sprung!

Well as usual I am painting.  Ben says our walls will never collapse that they will be held up by layers of paint alone.  What can I say?  I love color, I love paint, and I am not afraid to use it!  Part of my problem is that sometimes I paint a color that I don't like but out of guilt I leave it up at least a year or two because of the cost investment.  I think my brain mentally ticks off the days until I can once again attack the walls.  Recently we were left several antique pieces that didn't go with our current color palette.  The eight foot Victorian cabinet didn't go with the hydrangea blue walls, it got lost in the color.  If you ever want to now what color I am currently using check my hands, my skin refuses to let paint get scrubbed off completely, or look at our dark golden retriever's coats because they swipe by the wet paint at least a couple times.  We have almost finished the hall and are working on the living room.  My goal is for colors to match throughout the house.  This time I have chosen grey, I think I can use a lot of different colors as accents and not have the walls limit the color palette.  Maybe I will make it past the two year mark with this strategy!
