Conflicted

I am such a dork. I have wanted to paint my living room since we moved in almost two years ago, and finally set aside Christmas money this year to do it. I have had a plan in mind for the longest time, have bought some of the paint, and have been informed of volunteer painters so we can have a painting party (thanks, Elizabeth!) I wanted my kitchen red, my living room navy blue, ant the dining room a nice tan. I have had the paint chips taped to the walls to show anyone who entered, cuz I'm a dork like that.

Last night Marty and I were watching the New Adventures of Old Christine, and I was looking at the paint in Christine's house. She has a pretty greenish turquoise with a nice almost peachy cream, and I started to change my mind. Cuz I'm a dork like that.

Now, I am back to square one on the painting thing. I have not bought the red or blue paint yet, thankfully, but I am going to make sure I am settled before I do. Could I be a bigger dork?

My advice is think about what is your true favorite. I like your first choice as well. My living room/dining room are darker red w/beige and darker beige. My dining room ceiling is actually red it is coved. I LOVE it! my basement kitchen is the same red as Holly's bathroom w/white cabinets and it has an accent wall in Navy and I have the kids handprints at waist level and their footprints at the bottom in the shape of hearts w/a date. Food for thought. HOpe you have fun in your decision!

I'll send you a picture of a section of wall we tested colors on when we did the addition... It was wall that we ripped out so I made Matt save the sheetrock to hang in the garage! I always pick from the chip and hate the real color so I actually bought quarts and tested them this time. I refused to hate the wall colors. I'm partial to the darker colors too :) I hope you love whatever you decide!
