We painted it right before we moved in last November and I think I love it more after living with it for 9 months than when I painted it...and I really liked it then. I think it is cheerful and vibrant, but also really calming. I think it would be so fun to surprise my hubby with a painted room while he was out of town, but he likes to decorate with me and help choose things, so I don't think that is likely to happen. :)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02470745907344282143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-28452618513613552272008-08-20T20:49:00.000-06:002008-08-20T20:49:00.000-06:00Wow, it looks great!

Thank you for your prayers for my week. My Tuesday was so full of hope that I wrote about it on my blog.

In fact, I hired someone to help me unpack! But, I guess that's because I work and travel (for work) too much!<BR/>It's been so, so long since I've been on your blog. It's good to read your musings and your rants. I love how you are so REAL. And I hate what you have to be real about.

One of the frustrations of losing a loved one, especially a child is that alot of well-meaning people make us think that there should be a timeline to "get over it" You may need someone to talk to who can really understand how it is to loose a child. From what I have read in your blog you are doing some very productive activities. You seem to be able to enjoy life and your family. You just miss your baby. Why shouldn't you miss him, he was worth being missed. We lost our 4th child 13 years ago. We did get pregnant soon after and had a baby 14 months later. She did not replace our precious little boy who died, but it certainly helped. I found myself feeling guilty about loving the new baby because it felt like I wasn't being loyal to my little boy, but I also treasure my children because I now know that it is not guarenteed that we get to keep our children. What you and your family have gone through is very difficult and you have done it with such grace and all to the glory of God. You have been an inspiration to so many.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-2675387417163561472008-08-14T20:27:00.000-06:002008-08-14T20:27:00.000-06:00I'm bringing cookies...can i come see the walls ne...I'm bringing cookies...can i come see the walls next week?Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06017145301712599958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-67115447582130148062008-08-14T16:03:00.000-06:002008-08-14T16:03:00.000-06:00Adrienne- Thanks so much for letting me know!

And she agreed with a joyful heart. The reason for ruling out the bedroom was very practical: getting up in the middle of the night to pee without my glasses and without turning on a light and waking her and walking into what used to be the hallway to the bathroom but now was a wall could have had embarrassing consequences. Marriage is a joyful blending of talents, personalities, practical needs, and love.<BR/><BR/>You and Jason are well on your way, and I commend you - as I pray for you each day.<BR/><BR/>Gratefully,<BR/><BR/>MiltMilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464927249472965955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-63568029309202221512008-08-14T10:32:00.000-06:002008-08-14T10:32:00.000-06:00Ade, you rock! love the colors, cant wait to see i...Ade, you rock! love the colors, cant wait to see it! the bee in my bonnet is that I havent been over to see it yet...RachAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-90708646878538316722008-08-14T10:22:00.000-06:002008-08-14T10:22:00.000-06:00I love how it turned out!!!!

Really no rhyme or reason, just ridding the fireplace wall of the basic 'knock down' texture, that really isn't that bad. But, the 50 lb box of joint compound only cost around $6.00, so it was a fun, cheap project.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04101665341916407243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-54335618398492164722008-08-14T08:59:00.000-06:002008-08-14T08:59:00.000-06:00I also paint when my hubby is gone, there is nothi...I also paint when my hubby is gone, there is nothing like painting a room and seeing the difference that it makes-so cozy and homey!

If that is how you did it, how was it???<BR/>I LOVE the color..it looks just about the color I am looking to do in our family room as well. It looks fantastic, and how appropriate it the "Stellan" written on the wall =) What a miracle God is continuing to perform right before all of our very eyes.<BR/>Anyway, if you get a chance to answer the questions that is great..and if not, no big deal =)Rob and Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652031701795650916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-35864744671598035992008-08-14T00:15:00.000-06:002008-08-14T00:15:00.000-06:00This post made me laugh because I do big things li...This post made me laugh because I do big things like that too when Sam is away!
