What Would You Do??

In one of my less than brilliant moments I asked the girls what color they wanted to paint their new rooms.   So now for the last few months that is all they talk about.  The various colors and the fact that they want to help paint.  I'm ok with them helping since this will be the only time the room doesn't have carpeting down so hopefully they can't make too much of a mess, but after hearing all their color choices I think we'll just need to stick with an accent wall.  Some of the color options thrown out there have been orange, hot pink, rainbow stripes, silver, purple.  I'm ok with most, but some are a little random.  Hello.....rainbow...really??

Here are Emily's possible choices.  When we finally picked out colors her main vote was for "Sexy Pink"  Um....luckily she changed her mind to a princess themed pink.

Ellery finally agreed to silver sparkles which means I may be able to paint it the same silver grey as the rest of the house but I found a sparkle clear coat at Benjamin Moore that I think we'll apply over the top. 

Now I'm wishing i didn't open my big mouth and ask them for their opinions.  Andy thinks I should still paint it whatever we want and cut the girls out of the decision, but I know that could be a recipe for disaster as they have been talking about it for weeks.  I'm sure this is typical of almost 4 year olds but if you tell them something once they NEVER forget it.  Ever.

Doors are going in throughout the house. Now we need to figure out if we should paint them white or do something a little different.  I'm thinking we may use the same dark olive color that we used at our Multnomah house, but not sure just yet.

This entire weekend Andy and I scoured the city looking for our cabinets and counter top options.  I think we've finalized our options.  We ordered chocolate colored oak cabinets for the kitchen and this weekend I fell in love with a solid white square edge quartz.  It is perfect for my modern feel.  I'm not sure that is what I'll end up with just yet, but it's my front runner right now.

We also ordered all the flooring for the house.  Red oak with a dark maple stain, grey carpet, and some fun floors for the bathrooms.  We're taking some risks and I think it is going to be a lot of fun.  I can't wait to see the rest of the house come together.
