Thumbs up for color!

It's funny... I've been out of work for a year, and now that I have just one more week off, I finally decide to knuckle down and paint my downstairs entry room today. That's procrastination for ya. While I was taping out the trim this morning, Griffin kept moving his rope toy every time I moved my step stool. I'd move and he'd come pick up his toy and move it to where I was. Then he'd stare up at me expectantly, sending the message "Play????" to me as hard as he could. But, as I had a lot to do, I didn't give in. You might think this cruel of me, but to Griffin, it's ALWAYS playtime. Don't worry, I obliged him later.

Anyway, I've just finished painting, and I LOVE the new color!! SO much better than beige. Ugh. And scuffed up beige at that. Just in case you weren't aware, beige is not my favorite. It's just so.... beige. Blah. The trim has a fresh coat of "Dove White", and the walls are now the beautiful shade "Irish Tea". It's a difficult one to describe... it's a medium to deep neutral shade, sort of a brown with plum undertones. Once I remove all the tape and get the furniture back in place, I'll take a picture to post to better explain it.

The only other thing I did today was watch the Carolina/Clemson game. I'm glad to say my Heels will be moving on to play Duke for the ACC Championship, but they'll have to play better than they have thus far if they expect to win. Unfortunately, I'll be at work and won't get to watch the game tomorrow. But the good news is, tomorrow is the LAST Sunday I have to work!! Can I get a woot woot!?!

  1. Griffin is a cutie! I can't wait to see the picture of the color sounds really pretty. My walls are all white because I'm to lazy to tackle that project when good books are calling to me from my bookshelf.
