This Old House

So the other day I went to our old house.  (Which is a misnomer because it is technically only 12 years old.)  Anyway.  We still own the house and my cousin and his wife are renting it from us, they might buy it in a year or so, but they are doing repair work and paint stuff, so even if they decide not to buy, but move somewhere else, we will have an improved property to sell.  Win-win.

Anyway again.  I had a Home Gathering for CTMH there and my cousin in law gave me a tour.  It is beautiful.  Her daughter asked if it was weird coming and seeing it changed and I said no because it looks so different.  It doesn't feel like our house.  I was really happy to see it.

It was also funny because when we moved into it, the first thing we did was paint the master bedroom.  I choose a medium grey to match the bedding set we had.  I know, rookie mistake.  But I did want it dark so my lovely husband could sleep in there when he worked nights.  You know, to keep the room darker during the day.  Well.  I didn't mind the darkness of it, but it never quite matched the bedding and within two years we bought a king size bed and of course no longer used the bedding.  But the new bedding I picked was brown with palm trees.  Really it's not quite as bad as it sounds.

The intent was to paint the walls chocolate brown eventually.

Did I mention in our current house we still need to paint the interior doors?  Yeah, we never got around to changing that bedroom color.

But cool thing is my cousin in law said "yeah and we loved this blue color in the bedroom so we didn't change it..."

Huh.

Blue?

Guess that's why I never liked it with the grey and tan bedding....
