My Husband has Promised me Paint, I don't think he knows what he just signed up for...

We are ready for projects in the Vargas house.  Even after a long day at the Galleria in Edina (most of the time spent in Creative Kids letting Emily play her heart out) Bryan finished removing all the "guest bedroom furniture" out of the guest bedroom  to make room for the new baby yesterday. I even set up the crib when Bryan freaked out b/c he got frustrated.

Yes, I don't cook but I will decorate like no other and that even includes putting furniture together!  We have also decided on a "theme" for the new nursery.  Following what we did with Emily's room, we found a great kids book that has great illustrations.  It is call "Dogs" by Emily Gravett.  Anyone surprised?  Well we are picking our favorite pictures and will be framing them and putting them up in the room.

Small Preview :)

This has gotten the juices flowing.... We want major changes in our house.  Good bones but needs love, obviously you can tell this from my previous posts...kitchen remodel...bathroom re-remodel (we will be tearing out the tile we just did - insane we know)....backyard remodel...

But we want change now, but don't have the funds or great connections with a construction crew, so that equals paint!!!!!  Paint is a great way to get the instant change you need at a small budget :)

The real question is - what room will we be going after?  The Nursery?  The Living Room?  The Living Room and Fire Place?!?!?!  Actually, the real question is ....what room will not make Bryan freak out on me?  By freak out I mean, test his patience (he has none) with paint chips, details, moving of furniture?  

To be fair, I usually come home with at least 15 paint chips...or more.  But here is my sneaky strategy... I am letting him sleep right now... yup a well rested Bryan is easier to manipulate (I am aiming for the living room & and fire place so I will need all the help in the convincing area).  I want a green living room something along the lines of this:

And a white fireplace (it is currently beige brick - no not a brick that you can make look any better other than paint or tile over...) so until we have a little extra money to tile we (I) want to paint it....

Wish me luck... hopefully I will have pictures up later of whatever room we decide to do :)

 UPDATE: Bryan won with his logic (and I really didn't want to deal with a grump all night).  He pulled the whole - you have a green couch - you want to paint your walls green- you are going to have a green blob of a room for a while strategy.  Touche, well played Bryan. So it is the nursery...
