Well seeing that Christmas is around the corner and we want to be in the house by then, we have been extremely busy. After much thought and swatch after swatch we found our colors. We really like earth tones. SO, we found some really great colors to work with and they look great with our area rug. Its amazing what a fresh coat of paint will do for a house. I'm sorry for posting the same things over and over but its our life right now and I don't want to forget this time either. So soon enough I'll be done with the house postings. I know photos don't turn out the exact color but it's something. So here is the latest...
The darker brown is the whole living room color and it changes to tan up on the main wall. From that wall over to the stairs and up the stairs is the tan. We love it. 
The tan color was brought all the way up the stairs and in the upstairs hall way. Im really happy with the way it turned out. The cupboards and doors are a fantastic white. I never knew there could be so many shades of white out there.
Our family room now has an army feel to it. We love the olive and boy scout greens. I loved the swatch from the store and Romney didn't. Once the paint was up I was nervous and he LOVED it. But now I am so happy with it. I have to say around 2:00ish is the prettiest shade. These pictures really dont show the green but I promise its a green tone.
...and here is the dreaded project...pulling up the floor. These little peel and stick tiles are hard to pull up. Soon enough we'll have our floors in. I cant wait!

YOU GO GUUURL. THE COLORS LOOK GREAT. I LIKE THE DARK ONE EVEN BETTER ON THE WALLS THAN ON THE SWATCH,, WHICH I MUST SAY IS A VERY GOOD THING. LOVE YOU
It looks so good. I think I have the same "green" color in my bedroom. We didn't paint it that way and it looks good except for the "mustard yellow" she used as an accent color. Man does it need to be painted over!

That is so fun Erin!!! I'm so excited for you guys!! Let us know if you need any help moving in :)
