Floor Stain

We were lucky enough to be able to keep the original hardwood floors from the house.  They were protected under a thick layer of green shag carpet - and in great shape.  We had a few different shades of stain to pick from and decided to go dark.  

Paint Colors on the Walls

We panicked a bit when we found out that the paint was already on the walls. We tried to change the colors in the final hour, but were too late. We rushed to the house Friday afternoon to see the first coat of paint and make sure we didn't hate it.  

The bedroom is a little greener than we wanted, but once we get furniture in there, I think it will look great. It is sort of a neutral green / khaki color. And of course, the paint looks different on each wall and in different light.

We ended up being pretty happy with how things turned out.  Now on to decorating!~

Interior Paint Colors - Selection Process

What a nightmare.  Picking paint is not our favorite. Every hour or so, we have a complete panic attack and switch things up.  We've finalized these colors, but are still not sure we are happy with our decisions.  Fingers crossed that we love it!!
