No matter how long you're planning to live in a house, you might as well decorate it exactly the way you want it. In our last house, the realtors and staging company made us repaint our bland color to another bland color. Now I have a painter on speed-dial, for the house I'm selling and then for the house I'm buying. Hopefully we'll stay here a while, though. We remodeled it with the intent of growing old in it. We've been here almost 4 years, and I've repainted every surface at least 2 times. The hailstorm knocked all the paint off the peaks of the house, but I think I'll hire someone for that. It really looks pretty awful right now.
Toni, I really like how your wall hangings work with the bold colors. That's tricky, and you nailed it.
I leave my walls a bland color so i can be lazy about putting up anything I want.
I'm watching Sanya Richards-Ross in the Olympics. Are you guys watching this? That woman is incredible. (I love her hair, too. Wow!)
Oh, hurdles are coming on....that's my sport, gotta go watch this.
