Wonderful White Walls

today my wonderful boyfriend started painting the house with me, I'm sort of kicking myself for not taking before pictures, but i will definatley post after pictures. The colors in our house before were: green, medium grey and dark charcoal. The combination of all these colors made our house look super dark and dreary. Sooo.... We are replacing all the green with bright white (CIL white wing). We only have one coat done on the main floor, and already it feels so bright and clean. I love it, it gives us the freedom to change up our furnishings whenever we want. Now it doesn't feel so difficult to decorate! yay freedom!

Little Red Door

I painted my white door red. I really like it, the roller i used was super cheap and it messed up one side of my door, so now i have to sand down the fuzz and start over, but oh well. It looks fine for now. Now i live in a cute blue house with a red door. The paint is by Tremclad, it's their option for red in the cans not the spray paint. The dark blue trim was already there when we moved in, so i'm not sure of the brand or name.

This is my blanket i'm crocheting, it's red fuzzy wool. Going to be very warm.

And yes, This is what my city looks like pre-spring. Very dingy and dry. Trust me, my house looks better with the greenery.
