Painting

What is it about 4th of July weekend and home projects? For some reason I think we are genetically programmed to have to some kind of housework or home project during that weekend....It's like it's an American tradition or something. Chip came down to Indy on Friday night and we got to watch the fireworks from the apartment. It was cool, we could see the fireworks downtown out on window and in Plainfield out the other.

Then, I worked the John Mayer concert on Saturday at VWMC (and accidentally bumped into Jennifer Aniston backstage - greatest moment of my life! If I hadn't been in my management shirt I totally would've been a fan and asked to take a picture with her). Before I left though, we somehow ended up at Menards, buying paint samples. I've been saying for months and months that we need some color in this place and I guess almost a year after we moved in is the perfect time!

We decided on accent walls and only two of them in the main room of the apartment. We're all about wine-theme and I love bold, rich colors. So I kinda picked and then asked Chip to consult :) So here's some before and after.....

The supplies...

Somehow before we'd really even gotten started, Chip managed to get primer on his shirt. Kona didn't quite understand why she had to be on the other side of the fence. She was mad at us.

Kona approves!!
