Paint Goes Up!

Last night Sarah, my favorite sister in law, and I taped the dining room to paint today. We grazed over hundreds of colors and options and finally decided to follow along with what the home owners did. We kept the chair rail and found 2 very pretty hues of blue to put up. A darker one on the bottom and lighter on top. Very "Williamsburgy". The colors look great with our dark espresso stained table and china hutch. We also found an awesome red color to go on the inside of the breakfast nook. The plate Aunt Susan gave us for our wedding present inspired our red "Italiany" "pastay" "Il Fornioy" kitchen. We're hanging it in the center of wall. Hopefully on our trip to CA for Christmas we can pick up a couple more! The same red matches our red towels so we're using it for the accent wall in the guest bathroom. This morning we hit Home Depot to pick up the paint and the three of us painted the dining room, nook, and bathroom! We got a lot of work done but there are still more walls to go!
