Well, Steve drove me to Home Depot and gave input on paint swatches. Then he napped because he had a man cold and hates painting.
I put on my super cheap yoga pants from the grocery store, cranked up my "getting stuff done" playlist, and pretty much attacked the walls of our largest guest bedroom with a paintbrush and rollers. It went from a dirty looking yellow color to the most amazing shade of blue. It's called "Yucutan" by Behr and I'm in love.
Although gender neutrality was a large factor in our choice of paint since we don't know the specific children who will share our home or their color preferences, it was much more about which colors I was drawn to at the store.
Our smaller bedroom will be painted a warm grey color called Shitake, also by Behr.
The last room to receive a makeover will be the bathroom which we are painting a bright green color by Behr called "Citrus Peel".
In that picture it looks a little like split pea soup, but it is actually almost lime green in the lighting of our bathroom.
So far we have only made it through the one bedroom with paint, but the other two rooms are not far behind. With Valentine's Day yesterday and Steve being sick, painting got pushed to the back burner. I spent the morning with my parents, older brother and his fiancee, and my grandmother at brunch before coming home to snuggle my sweet baboo. Much better than sequestering myself in a bedroom with a bucket of paint. Time will tell which room will be finished today.
Next weekend I have a reading intervention program training to attend that I am ridiculously excited about. Hopefully by the time I return the state will have made a decision and we can go out and find our children!
