my new paint ~'::

I found this wonderful paint color on Saturday when we were at our local hardware store. It was a lovely gray, with a blue/green color-of-the-sea edge to it. "Ancient gray" they called it. It was just the color I wanted to paint my bedroom. I showed the color to Caleb and said please, and he decided that we could paint our bedroom this weekend since we had Monday at our disposal.

We picked up the paint that afternoon when we went to the next town to get groceries, and Monday morning, as soon as Greta had us mostly awake, we took things off of the walls and moved furniture out from the walls. Leah and Ethan came over to help and in no time at all my bedroom was transformed. By dinnertime we were done painting, and by suppertime could put everything back.

It is so lovely. The room feels much bigger and airier and cleaner. And I just love the color. (I don't mind the carpet anymore either. :))

Caleb is wondering why it is taking me so long to post this.
He had told me I could have the computer to post my pictures.
I told him, "Well, it takes a long time for me to do this. I wanted to write a little bit."
(Envision: a tired Greta crawling all over me, ready for bed.)
He wants to know why that takes long. He says to just say, "This is gray paint."
Indeed.

When Caleb was setting up to paint he asked me if we had an old sheet to put over furniture, and we had one! We're officially an old married couple now. ;)
