We’ve been on vacation in Seattle (pictures will be up soon!) for the last two weeks so I haven’t made any updates to the blog. However before we were gone I was able to paint the family room. We (and by we I mean Jess, while I smiled and nodded) choose a nice blue color. I think it looks pretty good, and should look great with the dark brown carpet and the dark wood trim. It should also keep the room nice and bright, which is a concern since the old room was so dark. This time around we used the Behr paint from Home Depot. No real reason than them having a paint chip that Jess liked. Bonus was that it happened to be on sale when I got it. So far I’ve used both the regular and the premium Valspar paints from Lowes, as well as the Regal paint from Benjamin Moore. I think the Regal paint was the best, but the Behr seems next best.
