Decorating by Proxy

In other news...the votes are in and Pumpkin Cream is the new color of our den (the room Carlee likes to call the library). Most votes came in after we made progress...most likely due to the holiday - making the voting slightly academic. However, we finished painting today, sore wrists, cramping forearms, and with only a few arguments under our belt. It dries as we speak and now I am waiting for the Great Pumpkin.

With one room down, the rest of the house seems less intimidating to paint. In addition, we have decided to "decorate by proxy" as Carlee is calling it. As we tackle each room, we will have some on-line blog voting to help make the hard decisions. Not sure when the next room will be up for voting - personally, I plan on taking a week off from painting. I need the recovery time.

For those who are curious, after we get the book shelves back up, I'll post a "finished" picture (probably in a day or two) so you can see what the room looks like when we are done. Thanks for the help!
