Spontaneous Project

I've been wanting to paint the family room forever, but extra projects are just so difficult to ever get around to with kids. Just keeping up with the mess they make can be overwhelming. But Wednesday I decided I was going to paint and once I get an idea in my head, there's just no stopping me. We picked out the paint that night, and spent the last two nights painting until dawn while the kids were in bed. It's hard to see from the pictures, but here's the basic project. The room was cream colored before. Now it's tan with a blue accent wall. It's a really calming, peaceful wall, which we need in this chaotic household. This morning Dylan saw the work we'd done and was talking about the blue wall. Then he asked what the other color was. I said, "It's kind of a tan color, isn't it?" He said, "No, mom, is it Gobi Desert?" Apparently he was listening when we were picking out the color and couldn't remember if we went with Gobi Desert or not. Sometimes the simple answer is not what that kid is looking for. Funny boy!
