Sunny Delight

The painters are almost done painting. Bathroom vanities, sinks and medicine cabinets are arriving today so the plumber will be in connecting pipes during the week. The electrician will be getting our lights connected. And so far, we're on track to move in on President's Day! It's very exciting!


The painters painted our bedroom on Thursday. When I arrived at the house on Thursday afternoon, the foreman asked..."are you sure you want your bedroom to be that color?" Our bedroom is a shade of yellow and it was picked to match a bit of color in a quilt that is going to hang on our bedroom wall over our bed. It was a good thing I was alone in the house when I walked into our bedroom because I just couldn't stop laughing.



I guess depending on your computer monitor, the shade that you see may be slightly off. One of the painters said our den and living room was chocolate milk, some of the rooms upstairs were strawberry milk but our bedroom...well, that was Sunny Delight. And that is probably the best way to describe it.

It is bright in there. Everybody working on the house finds the color very funny and it's a good thing I do too. Ed says that all we need now is a Tennessee Volunteers logo and we're set. Of course, he loves it since he did want to a room somewhere to be in UT Vols or UT Longhorn colors -- he loves college football and he also likes the color orange :-)

We're going to leave it for now and see how the room looks once there is actually furniture in it. I have to admit, the color is growing on me. And it may help Ed get up in the morning for work since he does have to be up at 3 am...

Wow is right, I was blinded by the picture alone, I can only imagine how it looks in person. Perhaps a dark blue ceiling to off set the bright walls and then some nice white crown molding...then cover the rest of the walls with art! No really its a great color

I actually like it -- I think it's warm and welcoming. I hate bland colors and this one has character. I hope it works out -- sometimes a strong color can wear on one after a while, but sometimes it becomes what you love most about a room.

I am a big fan of yellow, especially the mustard-y tones. Your bedroom looks like it might be the same color as my kitchen (which I love and Chris hates). Our ceiling is blue - not a bad idea... Can't wait to see the finished product. I'm soooooooo jealous!
