Rick and I decided that if we are going to be living here for another year, which we are, that we needed to paint. Usually the first question I am asked is, are you allowed to paint? Well...yes we can. They told me that they will charge us $75 per wall when we move out but when we moved in we were given the option of painting accent walls so we will probably leave them and tell them that they were that color when we moved in. hehehe
I picked a lovely blue. At first I was calling in Smurf Blue. Rick didn't like me saying that. Now that it has dried...well it is sky blue. Almost the exact sky blue in my famous lavender festival photo which we have hanging on one of our boring beige walls. As you can see, the blue changes in the light depending upon my flash, natural light etc. It so far has been a wonderful blue and has really made us both happy to look at it. Also, I was able to use my panorama settings on my camera for the first time. (See the last room photo.) I look forward to using it more in the near future so watch out! For those of you that don't know, the flowers in the frame above the fireplace are the flowers from our wedding. I had them custom framed. Pretty cool isn't it?!
Rick did an incredible job on the trim. Especially next to the ceiling. I on the other hand, got a little too close to the wall.

Love the flowers above the fireplace. They are beautiful. The blue color is awesome. My son has a blue room. I am jealous that you went to the lavender festival. I wanted to go but had sick little ones. I want to see that picture. Glad that you are having fun. I love to paint. We have put nearly 50 gallons into our house. We still have a ways to go.
Those walls are beautiful. It makes me want to paint something blue again!
Cool color Shell.
