Last Wednesday, We picked up the keys to our new house (about 3 hours later than we had hoped, but we managed to kill time at Tony Romas, and Home Depot). While at Home Depot we managed to decide on colours:
Living Room – Toasted Chestnut (a warm beige)
Bedrooms – Egyptian Nile (a darker olive green)
Kitchen – Chianti (just like it sounds – the cupboards will be white in contrast)
Trim – Cream White
Study – some really cheap “miss-tint” which will inspire much productivity!
So far we’ve managed to put primer over all the ORANGE in the house, and put on first coats in the living room, hallways and bedrooms. Already, we feel calmer. We will post before and after photos once we’ve moved in on Sunday.
The only down side to all this painting and moving is that we’ve both developed muscle atrophy in our wrists and backs, and we’re fighting off colds.

Sounds like it has been quite an adventure. Best of luck with the rest of painting, moving, etc. I can't wait to come see the place when I get back from good ol Lethbridge Alberta!
I'll be thinking about you two this weekend!
