Pinks, Blues, and Tans, Oh My!

Well we have moved on to the painting stage of our house, which has been really exciting for us. We have gone with a tan color (lightweight beige) for the walls and white for the ceilings. Pretty much like everybody else. The tan was a little darker than we originally thought it would be, but we like it. It is so hard to tell what color you are actually going to get when you look at those little paint squares from the paint store.

We painted Maren's bedroom pink and will be decorating her room in Little Mermaid. Now you may think this is because she loves Ariel, but that is not the case. She loves fish. "Fishy" is definitely one word that she knows. She has fallen in love with Flounder from the Little Mermaid. So her room will have fish and Ariel in it when we are finished. Her bathroom will also be decorated in "fishy."

As for Ashton's room he wanted a Diego room. Well actually I wanted him to have a Diego room since I found some killer deals at Toys R Us. I found a Diego wallpaper boarder, a Diego lamp, a Diego laundry hamper, and some wall decorations on clearance. So we painted his walls tan with a little blue at the top. We will put the boarder in between the blue and the tan. Hopefully it will look good.

Logan and I both just wanted our rooms boring tan, so that is what we did. Ryan on the other hand wanted his closet a different color. He wanted it a burgundy-ish color. Don't ask me why he just wanted his closet a different color and why such a dark color. I don't understand it myself. But anyway after it was all painted, he wasn't sure that he liked the color he chose, so who knows if it will be repainted before all is said and done.
