FROM LAVENDER TO CRACKER BITZ

A couple weekends ago, we painted our bedroom! If you remember it was lavender when we moved in. I am not a lavender person-never have been into purple-so one of my priorities was getting it out of there. We went to Lowe’s to buy a bunch of things, one of them being a gallon of Olympic paint in Cracker Bitz (C17-4). Lowe’s is huge! Have you ever been? I was so overwhelmed!

That day, Alex learned how to buy paint… picking out the color, how all the paint starts out white and then they tint it… the whole 9 yards. It was an educational adventure! A successful one. I’m thrilled about the color. Sneak peek below and more photos after the jump.

Also, the heat is finally on in the house and I am so toasty warm.

Alex likes to coordinate his book to the color of the room. Mine matches the mantel.

Remember the lavender?

The paint guy at Lowe's tinted the primer for us, said we'd only need one coat of paint. Not true, but I like to think it helped.

Tarped and primed.

Touching up after removing the tape.

I like how there are places where you can see the history of the paint in the room... lavender, sea foam and our new cracker bitz. It's all on top of wallpaper, too... who knows how many layers.
