I'm Seeing Green

I got motivated about 2 weeks ago to paint the office. I had no idea how to get an inspiration or what colors to choose so I went to the best resource I know...the internet.

I'll spare you the sappy details but after some soul searching I settled on a Sherman-Willians color called Rural Green. I bought a sample last Teusday (which was a waste of $5, I think) decided that I liked the color and got a gallon on Thursday. Here I am a week later in my freshly painted room. The pictures don't really do the color justice. There is a little bit of gold that comes through in natural light. I am pretty pleased. I also didn't get a good shot of the floor. It's a light colored hardwood floor, similar to the closet door. The Rural Green works really well with it.



It also serves as a new start. I had to completely clear my desk to move things around and get setup for painting. My goal now is to keep the desk free of paper, unless it is something that I am currently working on. I'll probably pick up a small filing cabinet and try to keep everything filed away.

Sherman-Williams actually has a cool color visualizer that you can use to "see" SW colors in a room of your choice.
