Marc LOVED the idea of having the loft/pool room be his sports room, and he was even excited about having the team be red. Coyotes or Cardinals?!?! We are leaning more to the right on this one!
As far as the craft room, I picked out a table and bought 2 samples of blue paint (MORE?! Yes!! That makes 10 colors on my wall!) And AGAIN I didnt like either of them! I first came across 3 different shades of blue, one more of a true blue, another a dark Tiffany blue, and the last was somewhere in the middle. Then I got scared they might be too bright and vibrant for a downstairs room with only one small window so I went with 2 shades that are so light they may as well be white! So I think I am DONE with samples, I am just going to nip it in the butt and buy a gallon and just og with whatever my heart feels! I have the full vision of the room now, I am just hoping I can get it all done before I quit my job so that all the projects can be finished and purchased with my pay checks so we can practice living off of just Marc's income - because believe me, after a Monday like I had today I dont know how many more I can handle! (Headache, billing due, scanner broke for 4.5 hours so I was stuck in limbo doing nothing, by the time it was fixed I had to leave, got stuck in accident traffic, came home dropped the open paint sample and splattered it all the way across the room, up the door, over my favorite pair of scrubs, all over Marc's favorite shoes...aye yi yi!)
So now that I have my vision, its time ot just DO it and stop my nonsense of being afraid of paint color! I have 7 bright cheery colors in Maddison's room and never thought twice about it. WHY does this room scare me so much?!?! Anyway, I am thinking:
A cheery bluish/turquoise paint color
The laminate wood flooring
My white craft table from Target
I'd LOVE a frumpy funky white chair with ottoman in there for a reading nook with a bright blue chenille blankie to snuggle with and blue and green accent pillows (Im thinking Ikea might have something along those lines)
A tall white 5 shelf book case - nicely organized with blue and bright/lime photo storage boxes
2 white shelves on both sides of the window with 3 holes drilled in them to drop cool cups in to store all my crazy scissors/markers/colored pencils...etc.
2 flat white...boards on both sides with silver clips to hang stuff (if that makes sense...I have a vision okay!)
And I am currently browsing table lamps...I have a couple in mind...but will buy that last as things come together. I am so excited!!! I can actually have a space to myself to do something I love!
P.S. Baby appt tomorrow. I am going to BEG for a quick U/S to check gender...I highly doubt Ill get my way but we will see!
