Countdown.....

(Okay, I still need HELP; but its for different reasons!)

I'm not sure about you other moms and your school schedules but our last day is this Thursday (Woo-Hoo!)!  Since our school is so small, they pretty much do things 'their' (our) way.  Each of the girls have swim parties plus their award ceremonies, etc. - its been fast & furious.  

Also, I've been under the gun, for final picks on the house (everyone seems to be waiting on me)... yikes!

DISCLAIMER:
Dearest friends (especially local ones), if you leave comments (or stop by), I'm only taking positive comments.  Background: I wanted a brown on SOME of the trim & on the doors (I know, sounds weird); anyway.... after picking my colors, the painter purchased it & as he started painting - OOPS, I figured out I made a mistake on the brown.  The brown looked too gray!  Unfortunately, 15+ gallons of this expensive gray-brown had already been purchased, could not be exchanged nor changed.  My AWESOME hubby simply said to just get what I wanted.... that it was better to spend some extra money now than live with something I didn't like and pay for it later.  I LOVE HIM!  Needless to say, I made my paint change & sticking to what's on the walls....

So, here's my brown:

This is called 'Java'.  ;)



I felt like Alice in Wonderland.  'What's behind this door?'  



If you ever need a gray-brown, go for "Tiki Hut"
By the way, our painter thought I was nuts, 
 so did the man that worked at Sherwin Williams!  
They couldn't grasp the difference between gray-brown & brown-brown. 
 They just kept saying, "This IS brown (& so is that & that & that)".  
Men, ugh!  
(except my honey)!  


The walls are August Moon.  
Another note, I had to threaten our painter NOT
 to call it yellow in front of my husband ;)

Hopefully I'll have more pics soon!  

 (Yippee!)
