We’ve decided to paint our house inside and out. We’re painting the whole first floor, office aside, which is basically three rooms: living, dining, and kitchen. The living and dining rooms are currently a salmon, peachy pink color and will soon be Light Sage. The kitchen is currently mocha and will soon be Fuzzy Sheep. […]
