Ugh! Paint Colors

I got a bee in my bonnet to lighten up the paint colors in my house. I thought I would tackle the rooms that I am in the most...kitchen, dining room and living room. Because I'm me and I knew the look that I wanted, which was calm and airy, it took me all of about 5 minutes to decide what paint colors I wanted. My honey and I headed to buy the paint the next minute and we painted for the next couple of days and voila it was done.

Now usually this system works for me. It really has for years but this time it didn't. First of all I have always gravitated to earth tones but I did a 360 and went with cooler colors. I actually like the calm blue in my kitchen but my living room is a huge mistake to me. I thought the color was gray/white but it is really gray/blue and while it is a great color it does not work with my furniture. So me and my very patient honey are going to be repainting. I chose another color and instead of deciding in 5 minutes I bought a pint to test it out on my walls. I have never done this before but I am clearly a little gun shy. What do you think?

I am grateful that paint is such an easy mistake to fix.

Oh my gosh, I love love that color of blue! Post pictures when you are done repainting the other room! And seriously what a relief it was to see crazy Michelle go. And I totally agree with you on creepy funeral girl. She was cute but her profession was just a little weird. I am not a huge fan of Ashley, but I would be happy if Emily or Chantel win. Yay!! It is getting so close!
