We Can Paint!

In recent weeks Mon Amour and I have decided that we are perfectly ok with (well, more like, mostly ok with) renting a home, rather than buying, for a significant portion of the future. This is a drastic shift for us. Pretty much since we got married we have been talking about buying a house - when could we afford it, where would it be, etc, etc. But, for countless reasons, buying a house right now does not make sense for us. So here we are. In our small farm house. Which will probably be home for a while.

Which means....

It's time to PAINT!

We got permission from our landlady today to paint the house how ever we want! So, off to Home Depot we went. We picked up paint chips, color guides, and mentally priced out some paint. We came home - and armed with paint chips, scissors, tape, and a none-to-skilled designers eye, we began to create a vision. So far, this is what the house looks like:

Kitchen (it really is green...the lighting is bad)


Spare Bedroom

Living Room

Main bedroom
(note the sweet sunset just barely visible out the window. Yeah - farm sunsets are awesome)

Hehe. Don't knock the color choices yet. Nothing is final. Due to the rapidly approaching holidays as well as some unexpected and expensive car repair - both time and money are short this month. But come January - the painting will begin!

The question is, where to start.

1. Bathroom? (the smallest, but also the one with the most cracks in the walls)
   
2. Kitchen? (the first room you see in the house)
   
3. Living Room? (the "show room", yet...the one with the most boring color plan)
   
4. Bedrooms? (need to get rid of that wood paneling...but no clue what color to paint them)
