New Floors
Finished the floors tonight:
I’m sending some paint cards to Kathy, since she’s going to weave us a groovy rug. Since I was writing down the color combos, I thought I’d share them here also, in case you’re curious. Here are all the colors we used in the house:
Preston’s room is white with the dark blue trim. My room is white with one pink wall. I haven’t done the trim yet, but I think I’ll use the grey color. The bathroom is the medium blue with the dark blue trim. The living room has one white wall, two grey walls, and one pink-ish wall. The kitchen is mostly white with one pink-ish wall. We haven’t decided for sure about the trim in the kitchen. I’ll decide about that when I paint the kitchen cabinets.
For now, we’re out of time for decorating and we have 6 days to get everything packed and moved and the old apartment cleaned.

Hey it looks great! Are you glad you did it?

We are definitely glad we did it. It was on a clearance sale at Home Depot, so it was not really much more expensive than buying the special cleaner and etcher for the concrete floor if we had decided to just paint the concrete. We still haven’t decided what we’re doing in the bedrooms. I’d like to go ahead and do the laminate in there also, but I’m not sure that we can afford the couple hundred more dollars for it. Maybe if they still have some on clearance in a couple weeks after another paycheck. For now, we’re just moving in with concrete in the bedrooms.

I think it looks fantastic too! I’m so, so, so glad I saw it at the beginning. I’m just shocked to see how good it looks in these pictures, and I bet it’s even better in person. I’m curious about how you went about deciding to paint one wall in a couple of the rooms a different color…
