New Paint Color

When Skip and I first moved into our house a little over two years ago, none of the walls had paint on them...just primer.  I was ecstatic because I am crazy and I just love painting a room!  The only overwhelming part was picking out what colors I wanted.  For our room we picked a nice bright yellow.  I'm not sure why we picked it, but it was a nice color and we liked it.  For awhile.  But recently I decided I don't like it as much as I used to and am ready for a change.  Our curtains are red and we have two sets of bedding, one red and one white.  So I decided grey would compliment those really well.  I've also heard that grey is a really relaxing color to have in a bedroom.  I just can't figure out which grey I want!  I brought home some samples today and put it up on the wall.  I would love your input on which you think is best!

Here are the before pictures of my bedroom...please excuse the mess!







Here are the samples on the wall





Option 1...not quite as dark as it looks

    Definitely number 2 - very warm and cosy for a bedroom.

    We did the same thing when we moved in. Painted all the rooms we were using and now I'm sick of some of the colors! And I hate painting. I like your bedroom set though! And your curtains! My favorite is option three! I can't wait to see which one you pick!

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
