It's ummm...bright

That was my response when Jared first showed me the color we were going to paint our room. After months of indecision, we rashly decided just to go with this color. Jared was not in the least bit hesitant to paint it this bright teal color. And I do have to say, I really like the way it turned out. It's quite the contrast to how he feels about the bathroom. 

We chose to do a more subtle color (between light/medium gray) for the bathroom since the room color was so strong. I like it fine but we forgot to take into account the color of the cupboards and tile. The whole time we were painting we thought the color seemed off and actually looked a bit purple (don't worry - it definitely looks gray now). But we decided afterwards  that we actually hate the color of the cupboards and tile, not so much the paint color.  But there's nothing for it (as said in the noble words of Sam Wise on the last LOTR movie). It would be ridiculously expensive to redo the tile, backsplash, and the cupboards. We could just paint it a different color. But the problem with making rash decisions is you don't think about the long term effects such as - what color will you paint the bathroom to go with the bedroom?  And then you start realizing that there actually isn't a color that would fix the situation. I mean, what were these people thinking putting in that color of wood floor with that color of cupboard? Maybe we are just overanalyzing it and it looks fine. 

Trust me, Jared and I have stewed on this for the past couple of days. Although, if you have any suggestions - please feel free to lend your expertise. I can't guarantee we will follow it. We are pretty darn sick of painting (at least I am).

The room finally done (I shouldn't say finally, its not like we worked on it for months)- it took a total of 2 1/2 days, two trips to IKEA, and about 4 to Home Depot.

Jared (also the cats - you should see the cat hair on that seat already) favorite part, the sitting area.

I'll post our bathroom probably tomorrow or so when we have it cleaned up with all the new towels and toweltries in place, then I guess maybe I'll post a poll and you guys can tell me how ugly you think it is on a scale from 1-10. (The most hideous thing you've ever seen being a 1)
