Which Color?

Choosing colors to paint in can be really easy or really hard.  This time around we have had a most difficult time deciding what color to paint the living room.  We both felt we wanted a more subtle shade of color then we currently have in our house.  While it is fun to have blue and red in our living room and it gets people's attention, we need something less bold.  James and I debated between several colors and decided it would be between a blue shade (glacier bay) and a green shade (hint of mint).  To figure out which would work, we even bought the samples and painted them on the wall and let it dry over night.  We went with a different color than both of these because they were almost like an off-white.  Truly not worth putting in all the labor if the color hardly shows up.  James had picked another shade of green (green shimmer).  It gave us what we were both looking for.  We also picked colors for the kid's bathroom (marmalade-shade of orange), our room (lilac tan - light purplish brown) and the other room (yellow brick road - shade of yellow).  The yellow brick road was obviously meant to be because I was doing ordering some paint while James continued to look at sample cards.  I came back over and he asked what color I felt we needed for the guest/other room.  I looked and picked out the yellow brick road.  He asked if I had been watching him because that was the one he felt would be best for the room.  What can I say, great minds think a like or we're on the same wavelength having been together so long :)  

Pictures will be following as we get the painting completed...Just something for you to look forward to :)
