color in our lives

So Brian and I got off our lazy asses and actually painted our apartment this weekend. This is a big step for us. We went to Home Depot, bought paint and supplies, then went directly home to paint. In our old life we would have delayed the actual act of painting for about a year. Even if we had the paint sitting in our apt. The one thing we forgot to buy...a ladder. Which means that I was on Brian's shoulders painting the ceiling edges...good times.

Though we did want to paint the whole place,
we decided to leave the majority of the walls white. At least we are honest with ourselves, knowing that there is no way in hell we would want to paint more than two walls. So we painted the wall that connects the livingroom and bedroom. It's a pretty sagey, armyish green. I like it a lot. Here's some pics...
