Awesome stuff

If you are not reading My Favorit and my Best's review about Design Star, then you are missing out. RUN RUN now over there and feel validated.

Uggo Bathroom





So we moved into this house a little over two months ago and there were four rooms that HAD to be painted. I started with the smallest and quickest project, the bathroom. Of course I didn't take a before picture, but there is a little of the red left in the paint can. It was almost orange-red.





I love Love Love this M-Fer. I can not stop looking at it. My husband things I'm rediculou. But I don't care. It is the only bathroom I use now.



I stole the idea from young house love. I did however choose my own colors. They are B. Moore Aura in linen white in satin and cumulus cloud in eggshell. Aura is the BEST BEST paint I've ever used. It covers incredibly smooth and thick. This paint is going to last longer than I want it to. Totally worth the price.
For the time being, the black trim is going to stay. It doesn't drive me crazy like some of the other painting schemes in the house. Eventually I'll get to it.

Sad

Still trying to get the hang of this blog thing. My layout is a little messy, so I'll be working on that. First things first. The name of this blog was a play on one of my favorite shows, New Adventures of Old Christine. But come to find out, as I was starting this, that is has been canceled. Damn. Old well, it is suppose to be going into syndication this fall, I think? I don't know why every show one TV that is actually good and funny has to be canceled while shit shows stay on the air FOREVER. That's right, I'm talking to you According to Jim.

Next up, I traded my red and black bathroom for neutral stapes and I looks f-ing amazing if I do say so myself.
