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 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'.
