As our last days as renters draw near and we await that final call that we've closed on our house, we've been thinking about ways to make it feel a little more like home. Our unique situation of having lived in the house we're buying for eight months as renters means that the excitement of moving into a new place is pretty much non-existent. I'm thinking that a great way to make it feel like a home of our own is to paint. Paint EVERYTHING. We've kept the walls a stark white since day one probably because Ben has stated on more than one occasion that he hates painting. I have to admit, I do like the airiness that the white brings but I think this change will be good for us as a first step towards creating a space to call home. And guess what, honey... I LOVE painting! Step 1: Pick a color Ben and I have one thing going for us (aside from the obvious)... We have pretty much the same taste when it comes to decorating. Both of our favorite color happens to be gray...
