Weekend Painting

We finished painting!!!! I hope I don't ever have to paint again. That was just too much work.

Dining Room

Before:

 After: Behr Tea Cookie. 
It's not as yellow as the photo on their catalog. It's pretty light.

Living Room:

Before

 After: Behr Green Tea

 It's actually lighter than what is shown on the swatch. Since the ceiling wasn't too high from the ground, we needed to make the green tea lighter so we added 50% green tea and 50% Ultra pure White- Both from Behr.
And this was the result of that

I'm glad that we decided to try something new and paint the ceiling because it looks different but it definitely looks more like our home.

bathroom updo

The bathroom before didn't look too bad. It was just sterile white all around with not much shelf space. We had a shower curtain with 3 colors that I liked so we decided to use the Home Depot / Behr Color Match computer system. With not much help from the guy in the counter, we did it and it was super ugly -___-. The shower curtain was light tan/brown but it turned to poop brown. The 2nd color was peach-ish which I was ok-happy with. 

To make the poop brown less poopy- we added some Ultra White and it turned out nicely.

After:

I really like how the light and color makes it much more of a home. The lonely little white shelf improved to two large half-cockpit shaped size His/Her shelves the bf made.

So far- this first home improvement was a great success!

Wall Vinyl Lettering

When we went to Walmart for some random knick knacks, we stumbled upon the photo frames area where it had lots of wall deco to put on your wall at home. The quotes 'Laugh, Love, and Live' was a popular theme as well as 'Family'.

And have you ever wondered:::  'Damn- THIS WILL DEFINITELY not match his wall'.

PICTURE THIS:
Living Room:
all corners of the wall filled with sports posters.
FOOTBALL
BASKETBALL
HOCKEY

Dining Room:
There is a large screen television with a workout gym on the side. The table isn't a dining table; more like a beer pong table.

Kitchen:
It is so tiny that anymore than 2 people in there is crowded.

Hallway:
You mean that dark area where all our sneakers are kept and no one hangs out there? Yea this could be a 'potential' area for it.

I was looking at examples from websites on where to place them but it would just seem so awkward. Quotes on the wall is DEF a girl thing, or at least a place for a daughter's room. His living space is too masculine. 

I need to balance it out a bit-but I am just not sure where to start and having a quote in a random area in the home won't help it- yet.

HELPPP!
