Hi.
My name is Erin… and I’m a beige-aholic.
I enjoy beige. I relish beige. I cover my house in beige.
And that’s not all. I find other neutrals to be very habit forming. In addition to being a beige-aholic, I’ve even considered myself a gray-aholic too. Both colors are so safe and comfortable that I can’t get enough!
But this weekend, I switched it up a little. Our formerly dark brown front room was too dark and too drab and I had the itch to brighten it up. So I did. With the help of my parents (Dad to lend a hand to paint, and Mom to keep an eye on our busy little crawler) Denny and I brought green into our typically neutral house.
So after 2 rolls of frog tape and 11 hours of non-stop work, the room was transformed. Talk about quitting neutral-aholic’ism’ cold turkey. But now I’m having concerns and sweats… Is it the right color? Do we like it ? Is it too green? Too minty? Too bright? Too springy? Hmmm…
Overall I’m glad we did it. The room is much more cozy and definitely brighter, but I can’t seem to commit to hanging pictures just yet. I’ll get there eventually. Perhaps I need some inspiration that can only be found during a trip to Pier One or a visit to Pinterest. Hmm, after perspiration comes ‘Pin’spiration (is that a quote somewhere)?
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions to finish off the room, please pass them along. The path to no longer be a neutral-aholic isn’t going to be an easy one but let’s be honest, we’re way too tired to re-paint. So it looks like we’ve gone green and we’re not to looking back!
