Like Watching Paint Dry

So, we have decided it's time to paint our house since we've lived here for nearly a year and a half and we're tired of staring at the same four boring white walls. Most people would probably consider this fun, but when you have two interior design challenged people picking out paint, what you end up with is what we like to term "obnoxious orange". We were going for "clay" or "earth tones", but we ended up with a creamsicle! If you don't believe me, just check out the picture. The people at the paint store aren't nearly as helpful as their commercial suggests. We "asked Sherwin Williams" what color we should paint our home and they pointed us to the wall-o-swatches with every color imaginable! So, if any of you feel as though you should stage an intervention and submit our names to HGTV to have an interior designer come and help us out, we wouldn't be offended.

Seriously though, after several trips to the paint store we finally found a nice color for the entry way, living room and stairway. We think we found one for our bedroom and bathroom too, but time will tell once we get it up on the walls. So, next time you visit our home, if you despise our color selection, please keep it to yourselves. We're traumatized enough!
