Bravery

I spent the day yesterday painting Calina's future bedroom a soft, soothing pale yellow-green "Captured Moment". The day before, I tackled painting the ceiling a with a fresh coat of white. I think it turned out quite well.

There's something really soothing about the light coming into this bedroom. We noticed it when it was the guest room, too, but now the new wall color really makes it feel like a sanctuary. Somewhere you'd want to sleep for a very long time. We hope it makes Calina feel that way someday. ::grin::

Other rooms in the house are either coming along swimmingly, or not at all. The guest room? Best room in the house currently:

It's even got a DVR box. Cray-cray! Ben uses it for watching shows & playing games, Colin uses it for reading, and the babies use it for TV time and safe baby-proofed playing.

Our bedroom, on the other hand, looks like we raided a Goodwill seconhand store and it just spewed all over everywhere.

Pretty horrific. I suppose we'll get to it eventually. Unfortunately, Colin doesn't really mind it like this, so... It might be a while. The wall to the right of the door there could have a door installed that would lead to a walk-in closet (the closet in the guest room), which would really help our clothing storage situation. We were hoping that the flowered couch could go in Calina's room, but we realized that it won't go through her door, due to positioning of walls around the doorway. So it's continuing to live in our room, but we repositioned the bed to be under the A/C vent, and despite the fact that it's a pretty large room, you can't really walk anywhere in the room anymore.

It's OK, though, because we're comfortable sleeping, and... it's representative of our current life. It'll get put together when we get put together.
