Perplexing Primer


We are now in the "pretty process" of our home build. Most of the outside work is done, the only thing we're waiting on has mostly to do with landscaping- a driveway, sprinklers, sod, etc. But the inside of the house is rockin' and rollin'. Last week, we headed out to the house per our usual after work routine and were pleasantly surprised when we walked in. There was paint on the walls! Or was it? After looking around the main floor of our new place, we noticed that there was no variation in color, no accent walls, and the "paint" color was quite an awful tannish purple. I of course, freaked out and wondered, what in the heck went wrong with the paint selections that we got this nasty color?

Well...no fear, Ryan was here. After an email to our builders to ask them what kind of color was on our walls, we found out that it was just the primer. Insert forehead wipe here, and pop a couple of Excedrin for Amberly's massive stress headache, and we were good to go! After a phone call to my mom, who listened to my entire primer story with a knowing smile...my nerves were back in order.

And a few days later, we visited again (OK, I'm lying we visit every day now). Ta-Da! There was actual paint on the walls! Whew! There were definite accent walls, the mater bedroom was in prime mocha fashion and the laundry room was exactly as I had wanted it- tame teal and all! It really is fun to see what I had blogged about here and to finally see it on the walls!
