September 2013 babies!!

LOL I actually really like the color of it in the pics but depending on the time of day and the amount of natural light in the house, it can look really blue. I have the perfect grey in the bedrooms, but I don't want to do the same color in the living area too. I am terrible at picking paint colors. The color in our dining room is awful too. It was supposed to be a light cream/beige color but it is really pink in some lights. If I repaint the living and dining area, I want to be CERTAIN it is the right color, because I am so tired of painting!! This is the color I am thinking of painting it to lighten up my house because I don't have a lot of natural light in my house and it gets dark in the evening.paint color.jpg

I'm not very brave with color plus since we are moving in 2 years we will have to resale and bold colors don't really work for that....Ugh my whole house still needs work and we have been here for a year and a half already, I don't feel like I have even one room complete!!

We built our house 3 years ago and the walls are all white still except I exparementied in my main floor bathroom with red lol....I'm not a painter that's one thing I have learned lol! And DH is to lazy to fix it up... I've tried... There Ted all over the roof :s... I want to get the house painted but I find it hrd with the open concept cause I just can't do one room at a time cause they all flow together so mainly I guess I would need to pic two similar colors and do contrasting...

I don't weight myself when I'm preggie but I'm massive and can't stop eating ;-( think it partly dealing with loose of lill twin and all the stress we've had - I ten to either not eat all when stressed or eat a lot as I know I have to eat I think it's getting extreme ;-(

Thorz I like the colour but lot sure its a living room colour .... Just had ours painted dull old cream but its so light and fresh!

Stop press I may have good news! 9 week bloods positive for past infection but not current! Going to another lab for confirmation results on thurs fx but looks like we've finally got a break! Can't quiet believe it!

I like greys that's all I can set my mind on...I also want to do a backsplash in the kitchen! DH promised that it would get done right away... Three years later..... We also have bamboo hard wood that was supposed to be put in and its been sitting in the garage for three years,.... It's so frusterating

[Wanting-a-girl]

Omg fish that is awesome news!

[Thorz300]

Yay Fish that is so exciting!!! what a relief!

WAG thats gotta be rough, I start projects all the time and then don't finish them. It drives my husband nuts. But If i sat around waiting for him to do them, they would never get done, so I always start them and then get to a point where I need his help and then stop, and then we have a half finished projects. Like the baseboards in our house, I installed the base boards but got to a couple spots where i couldn't get the cuts right, so now we have half finished baseboards in the kitchen and bathroom. LOL one day we will complete it all

[Wanting-a-girl]

Lol only if he could lol... God I got him to change a light bulb the one day omg I would have proffered to rip my hair out! He comes from a Portuguese family he's the youngst and was babied beyond belief and now I'm the one paying for his mothers mothering! I'm quite handy aside from painting cause I grew up with avery handy father who can fix and complete anything it seemed like... Its a matter of making him buy what I need... Cause the other side of coming from that Portuguese family made hi. Extremely cheap! Where as I would see money burn holes in her pocket buying prada purses lol... We are very different from very different upbringings and it def makes us clash ALOT lol...

Well, I usually find that you end up balancing each other out. I am very compulsive and when I get an Idea I want to do it NOW! DH wants to weigh everything out and plan it all out. I am very frugal though and DH likes to spend money on nice stuff, when I prefer to buy it second hand. I win on that one, so almost everything is bought off of craigslist in our house, or even free off the side of the road lol. But I LOVE to fix things up or I wouldn't get so much used stuff, because it never looks good when I first get it. DH HATES PAINTING and doesn't like me to paint, because he knows I am never happy with the color and always want to change it. So I always paint while he is at work. Because I know he will like it once it is done. We tend to balance each other out though.

Lol maybe I have never painted my house because I swear to god growing up with my mother our house lost square footage from how often she changed the colors... Lol

I have become a lot more frugal in the past few years lol! When I only had ds1 I would get everythg from pottery barn and he was always very well dressed I was crazy I would spend 40 bucks on a sleeper! Never would I do that now! I havnt even stepped foot I. A pottery barn in many years... For this baby I bought a swing that was used and very dirty but its the same one I paid 200 for Ezra but I sold it thinking he was my last baby... Well I got this one for 30 bucks! Lol I will be able to sell it for 80! I just had to spray it wit stain spray... I will also buy pants from the gently used store for ds1 cause he is so rough on clothes ... So I have learned a lot

Since your so handy thorz I was wondering cause my cats when they were kittens destroyed our leather kitchen chairs and ottamon is that even able to be re done?

wow thorz your house is so lovely. I love the colours but then i love any colour on walls as we have been in rented houses for the past 5 years and EVERY house and EVERY wall has been magnolia. I would give anything to paint just 1 wall and add a splash of colour to some rooms but we are not allowed to paint. Hows your hip and foot doing?

Fish so so glad you got good news
