Nothing a little paint can't fix

Joy and I are trying to focus our attention on decorating the house. We have been putting in ceiling fans everywhere and we're probably going to get the rest of the furniture we want at the end of the year. It's hard getting the house to where we want it without going into a huge amount of debt. What I want to do now is paint a room. I was thinking the piano room where we just put in a new fan. The only problem is that I have no skill when it comes to home decor.

There is this cool thing on the Sherwin Williams site that allows you to pick a room and then drag and drop your colors to it. You can then "see" what the paint will look like. Check it out here.

My house has Killiam Beige on on all the walls as well as the ceiling. We have light wood furniture and these green couches. The couches are Garden Gate... according to Sherwin Williams.


So, the big question is what would go with that. In the piano room we just have a piano, my guitar and a computer. I was thinking of getting a nice stand for the guitar to make it more attractive and then painting the walls a nice green. I was thinking Artichoke for the walls an ceiling and then getting a love seat that is a Canyon Clay color.




Or maybe a cool brown.



Anyway, you can easily spend all day on the site. It's pretty cool. The big thing we need to do is some landscaping... which I really, really don't want to do. It's 86 degrees today in the middle of March and we live on a giant rock with some clay mixed in. I have to build a small wall around the garden, plant two trees and a bunch of flowers. It's going to suck. I might just do it the way I do everything else I don't want to do. Wait long enough for Joy to get ticked off and hire someone to do it for me. Heck, it works for my parents!!
