Freshly Painted

I'm giddy with joy - my office and half-bath have a new paint job! It wasn't without sacrifice, but then what good things in life are?! I purchased a gallon of paint a year ago with the lovely name of Koala - was suppose to be a creamy brown color. When I removed the lid to paint, to my surprise it was the same peachy color as the scrapbook room. What happened I will never know:( Anyhow, I went to the hardware store and brought home all of their paint samples for brown paint.

After deciding on a color, I went back for the paint. Come to find out, the one I chose was displayed on one of their walls. I didn't like the looks of it, so chose a lighter color named Macadamia. Then I came home and started painting, and painting, and painting.




A couple days later, with sore back and muscles, I was very happy with the results. Gone was the Pistachio green color, replaced by the new Macadamia brown color. NOTE: I must love colors that have food names.



And now, to make Tawnya (Miss Osha) happy - here is a picture of the kid-friendly, no sharp corners, soft top foot stool/coffee table for our living room. If kids run into it, they should just bounce right off - no bleeding or stitches required!



Doesn't it look comfy with the conversational couches around it?! I enjoy resting my weary bones in this spot. Come sit a spell with me when you can!

Tawnya must be freaking out about my sharp cornered, glass tables in the living room...oh well. Your office looks nice.

Thank you mom, on behalf of the children that enter your home. We all appreciate this! I really feel like the house is coming along great! Keep up the great work.

Looks great Fran! We have a very similar ottoman in our living room...although I just really liked the look of it...the fact that it's kid friendly is just an added bonus!

Angie - your ottoman is what really inspired me to look for such a footstool. I love it!
