A new hue.

The previous owners of our home did a fantastic job selecting paint colors. Very stylish and our decor matches amazingly well with the paint, except for one room -- the girly lavender bedroom upstairs now inhabited by a little boy named Reid. Our K-State friends might say, "Well, just turn it into a Wildcat themed room and show that purple pride." Unfortunately, the lavender was too much for even that. Today, we set to work repainting Reid's room a lovely brown color, which Luke described as looking like a "chocolate shake." After taping, painting edges, rolling, touching up, etc., we finished the job in just a few hours. We utilized the skills of 3 painters -- Mom, Dad, and Luke -- while Reid was sleeping. (Yes, we used a drop cloth and Luke was highly supervised.) Mom later broke out the antique dark silver spray paint to refinish some light switch/outlet covers and coordinating picture frames. We have a few finishing touches to put on the room before we show you the finished results, but here are some action shots of the Leahy Painting Co.
