People of the World:

To the People of the World:

Please DO NOT paint your home forest green and easter egg green from the walls to the railing to the doors and banisters down to the baseboards!! It does not look good nor will it ever! You will just be creating a huge mess of work for the person moving in after you (i.e. Carrie and Tanner). Note the candid shot of my disgusted look.

Only little 4 year old boys appreciate the Ninja Turleness of it all. Ok, it's not that bad. It's just the green railings, doors, banisters, baseboards and walls that I don't dig, that's all.

Oh yeah. We've just scratched the surface.

LOL! Wow, that is a lot of green. I'm so excited for you to have a house!

Did you mention that the whale room is in your basement, not at seaworld? :) Love it. I'm sure the boys do, too! We're so happy for you to have a home where you can do whatever you want to make it yours.

The upside of this whole thing is that the walls are atrocious enough that you are really motivated to change it. Otherwise, if it was just so so, you'd live with it and never paint it to get what you totally love. Now you have to, and you'll have everything just the way you like it. :) Good luck with it all!

Wow, that's worse than I thought. Soo much work, but so worth it. We pretty much painted our entire house when we moved in and it made the biggest difference. I'm excited to see your color choices.

I like Liam's batman patches too.

Wow, you've already got a lot done. It looks great! I can't wait to see more, and remember "SAVE THE WHALES!"

Yes! Save the whales! Ha!

Christine: That's a really good point. I would have just lived with the walls if they were slightly off hue, but now I get to pick the colors I'd like! Next stop: the blue kitchen!
