ole paint

I know first born is going to have issues with my choice of paint color in what used to be third born’s bedroom.

I love the color I chose  (even though, while drying, I can’t really tell what color it is going to be).  I didn’t choose a shade of yellow, because I heard on NPR that babies in yellow rooms are fussier than those in other colored rooms.  Yes, they did a study on this, and it turns out that cheery yellow does not bring good cheer after all.  And since baby grandson will also sleep in there someday,  I chose my favorite color, a shade of green.

Green is the color of living things. It is the color of trees and plants, and meadows, and other soothing places. (I hear you: “It’s the color of pond scum, frogs,  and goo, too!” but I’ll ignore you….).

My mom came over and we put the first coat on the walls. The trim and closet, and doors will be a contrasting off-white, and the curtains third born chose for her room will still go on the windows.  But I WILL put a rug in there.  Hardwood floors are so cold in the winter!

I can’t wait to see what color it is in the morning!
