Chick Stuff

Saturday, September 18, 2010
I've been using the same mascara since I was approximately 14 years old, so recently I decided to see if another product might do me a bit better. Coincidentally, a work-mate of the The Mechanicky Gal recommended this new Maybelline product called Stiletto. ZOMG, this mascara is the shit. All you gals run right out and buy some IMMEDIATELY.

So you all know we recently got the floors replaced in the kitchen and bathrooms. And they looked so FABULOUS that it immediately became apparent that we needed to paint, and right this minute. The joys of home ownership.

So we've been painting one room a month, and doing some minor remodel work at the same time like window treatments and such. So far we've completed the two upstairs bathrooms and the kitchen, and this weekend we're doing the family room. Next month will be the Smart Boy's old room, and November we'll do the master bedroom.

Except I'm kind of stuck on the master bedroom.

Here's the master bath, which is painted a light aqua color. The shower curtain is a quilted, striped affair with a variety of complementary colors. We really like it, but it's making choosing a color for the master bedroom problematic. Brown is out, as the Smart Man makes a Calvin face every time I suggest it, and a darker shade of aqua would probably be just TOO MUCH. So I'm looking for suggestions on what to paint the bedroom that isn't yellow, doesn't make us feel like we're trapped in a Disney movie and doesn't give the Smart Man the Calvin face. Suggestions, Hot Chicks (and Smart Men, if you care) - I need them.

How about going with the darker shade of aqua but just putting it on one wall? You can paint the rest of the room something neutral (very light beige, maybe) and the one aqua wall will scan well with the bathroom.

I second nzforme.

Choose a darker color you really like for one small wall, then paint the other walls while (or beige or whatever). The mirror will help reflect the color and make the room look colorful without being dark.
