We've painted! Matt was pretty reluctant to make any permanent changes to our apartment since we've only signed a one year lease but I was persistent in my demands to paint. Eventually, we compromised: if I did all the work including painting the wall back when we move, I could paint the wall whatever color I wanted. So I chose Orange Spice paint by Better Homes and Gardens!
Let me tell you, an accent wall has made our space feel so homey. I adore the warmth and brightness this color adds to our living room, especially with how gloomy the Pacific Northwest has been this fall.
What we're into this week:
- Matt is playing Borderlands 2 and Torchlight II. He just finished reading The King Killer Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss and began reading the Mistborn Trilogy by Brian Sanderson earlier this week. He's plowing through books with his 2 hours of commuting time Monday through Friday.
- I'm reading The Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris and watching the HBO TV show based on the novels called True Blood (I'm just starting on season 4 of 5). The books are fast paced and funny, but I'm not as big of a fan of the TV series.
- Here are a few quotes that have been on my mind recently:
- I only do this until I get dizzy & then I lay down on my back & watch the clouds, she said. It sounds simple but you won't believe how many people forget the second part. - Proper Steps, StoryPeople.com
- Things to know about the future 1. It doesn't have to look any particular way, but around here, if it doesn't, a lot of people will never speak to you again. - Future Things #1, StoryPeople.com
- Anyone can slay a dragon, he told me, but try waking up every morning & loving the world all over again. That's what takes a real hero. - Real Hero, StoryPeople.com
