Seafoam Green

When Chris bought the Colorado house a couple of years ago, I almost died when I first saw it. My first thought was...cute house...but that color has to go...

It is surprising how fast a couple of years go by. But one of the goals this trip is getting this house painted, a different color. So today, when Chris got home, we got busy getting the house cleaned, so I could start priming and painting...
Finally...
Now really, painting the outside this color should have been bad enough. But Noooooo...the previous owners just had to use the same color inside too.

On the walls, the carpet, the trim...

The ceiling...

And the linolium... It all has to go...eventually. So far, the only rooms that I have gotten done are the master bedroom and bath. Depending on how well the outside goes, I plan on getting the office/3rd bedroom painted too.

Now, one of the big slowdowns has been picking the colors. I am a warm color person and Chris is a cool color person. That makes it very difficult to find colors that we both like. For the inside, we finally settled on a neutral khaki color and the outside...we let the kids pick. I know! How scary is that? Well, actually they did a good job. I resigned myself to a cool tone because of the gray shingles and everyone else liked blues. So a nice blue/gray was picked out and I will get busy on applying that.

Tomorrow, it is back to the horses. The equine chiropractor is scheduled for the morning. I am excited. Finally the geldings have settled down. Tonight was the first time that I haven't been run over either leaving the barn or returning or coming into or out of the round pen. Oh, Nuzzling Muzzles, I feel your pain on having to deal with a horse that hasn't had a lot of exposure to the world. What a pain in the butt!!
