Fall Break

I absolutely love fall break! I had a pretty busy first day, and I was in bed by my normal school night bedtime :) When my husband first purchased our house, my best friend Brooke and I were so excited that we would finally have a scrapbook room to make as big of a mess in as we wanted and not have to clean it up every time we were done scrap-booking.  I wanted to paint it a 'fun' color since my mom would have never gone for anything loud in her house, so we chose neon green. It was fun while it lasted, but 2 years later it was time for a change.

Before -excuse the mess I'm cleaning out!!

The closet before

I started cleaning out and though I am sick and tired of this blinding green color, I think I will go to Lowes!!

After browsing the paint for quite some time, I chose Lyndhurst Timber. I thought maybe the once scrapbook room, now office/dog room could use a little manly color. I spend the rest of the day cleaning out and painting the room. Not too bad for day one of fall break, but we still have a long way to go!

did a little re-arranging

much better!

Oh and the best part was when my husband came home. He took some bills into the office and said "oh you put the dogs right beside each other"... and that was it! After dinner I asked if he noticed anything else, and he thought and said "you moved the computer desk over some". I laughed and asked if THAT was all. He thought for what seemed like 5 minutes, walked back into the room, looked around a while and then said "OH you painted". What a typical man!
