It's All About the Color

Today we spent most of it at home because of the toilet thing and we wanted to pack up some stuff here at the rental. We did get up to the house around 2pm at which time our contractor was leaving for the day. We didn't have really anything to do up there because we had finished painting the day before and we couldn't paint any other rooms because construction was happening in them and we hadn't picked out the paint yet. So that is what we did. We went through each room and selected paint colors that we liked. We already made several mistake by buy a gallon of paint and then realizing you don't like it or it doesn't fit the room and wasting money.. so this time we planned on purchasing small sample paint to see if we like them first. So it took about three to four hours to go from room to room and select what colors we liked.

Once we got home we dropped off Daisy at the rental and then went to Home Depot to purchase samples of all the colors we decided on. Will paint samples on the walls tomorrow and see if we really like the color combinations that we choose. While at home depot we also checked out sinks and vanities for the guest bathroom and the Bamboo flooring that we really liked. Unfortunately we wanted a darker floors and the Bamboo only came in the light wood color (though you could strip and stain it). So we started looking at Laminate wood flooring and most of it looked fake but there were a few that we thought would work and one that I really loved that was darker and more rustic looking. Harry wasn't convinced but he did like it.. will have to keep looking. Oh forgot to mention we are re-flooring out TV room as well since it's kind of opened up to the living and dining room.
