Apple Green

I had a urge to paint my walls Apple Green and since we've had spackle white for about 18 months now I thought it was a good idea. I saw an Apple Green kitchen somewhere and it stuck. I thought the color was so refreshing and happy-making that I wanted to re-create that feeling in my own house. So Jeremy being who he is started the project and finished in less than 2 days. I bought the paint and chose the color and helped where I could. He didn't care what color it was just as long as we finally covered those ugly dry wall mud patches. It's a little bolder than I was expecting, but as you know with paint it dries darker and makes a HUGE impact on the room. I love it! Enjoy the pics. Hope they do it justice.

Funny things that were said during the process:

Belle: This looks like spring!
Tre: This is the BEST Saturday EVER!
Belle: I just love watching people paint, I love the smell.
Tre: I like this color green
Jer: Its really green...
Leisa: In that light it looks florecent! I feel like I'm living in a fun house! It makes me happy!
Belle: I just love watching people paint, I love the smell. (we heard this comment a few times)
Jer: Hope you don't get sick of this color ANY time soon, cause I'm not doing that again for a long, long time.
Jer: Mmmm...anyone want an apple?



The Process:





The Finished Product:




Oh, and I also picked up a 'mis-tint' from Lowes for $20 off the original price. Not a color I would have EVER picked out on my own, but I needed a color for just one wall of our front room. This seemed to fit the bill and though I didn't love it when we were painting in on, I fell in love after it dried. It matches the trim on our huge painting perfectly and looks FANTASTIC!! I'm calling it 'Berry'.

So glad to finally see the pictures. It turned out beautifully. If I had to pick a "Leisa Color" it would be that color for sure!

p.s. the back fat is back, not for long I hope!!!
