Will the House Ever be Finished?

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

“Will the house ever be finished,” David whines as I pick out paint colors, again.

It’s a valid question, I guess.  I’ve painted and decorated nearly every nook and cranny in our home, including the laundry room a few months ago. 

“WHY would you want to paint the laundry room,” he wailed when I told him about our then weekend painting plans.

“Because,” I say, “I spend all day, every day in there.”

I feel the same way about our mudroom.  The boys and I go in and out of there all day, every day and the boring tan walls taunt me.

This picture on cb2.com is the inspiration for my new mudroom.  Not only do I love the paint color, I love the light fixture.

My husband doesn’t know it yet, but both are now mine.  I purchased the paint a couple days ago, and ordered the oversized equator pendant lamp yesterday.

The shade is HUGE.  It will fill nearly our entire mudroom, but that’s what I LOVE about it.  I want it to make a statement.  And it will.  I just hope the statement my husband makes when I plead with him to put it up is, “Of course I will.”  And with a smile on his face.  That’s not too much to ask, is it?

I plan to paint and install the light fixture after the craziness of Christmas.  I’ll post pictures as soon as I’m done.  Wish me luck!
