It's a lot of work, but it's worth it

Matt and I are not yet living in our new house, but we are slowly moving our stuff in. We've been to the new place every day since closing, and the apartment is finally starting to look a bit emptier. Up until today, all we've really done is clean. Today, however, we worked hard.

As mentioned earlier, Carolyn is my color consultant and has really earned her pay (of $0 haha). She's helped us pick a color scheme that is working really well. We've gone with a periwinkle blue for the den, hallway near the bedrooms and half the dining wall. Then we've gone with a subtle yellow for the living room and the other half of the dining wall. The kitchen will be a brighter yellow, our bedroom a minty green, our bathroom a light orange (no Home Depot orange this time) and the spare bedrooms a light purple. All of the colors complement each other well and we're going to use them for trim throughout.

Carolyn, Matt and I got a lot of painting done today - we finished the blue and most of the living room. I owe her big time for this!
