I am completely exhausted after this three day weekend!  On Saturday we traveled across the state to help my brother and his fiancee move.  But we didn’t mind because we moved them closer to us!  Then Sunday and Monday were completely devoted to our house.  Luckily, Charles and I both have pretty cool parents, and they offered us a lot of help.  A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO THEM!!!

One of the more exciting projects we accomplished was painting the office.  I knew this would be the hardest and most time consuming room, simply because we chose such a dark color.  Over the weekend, we were able to get two full coats on.  We need at least one more coat, maybe two, but I’m getting more and more excited about this space!

The trim hasn’t been repainted yet, but I know that the glossy white is really going to POP in this room! For the walls, we went with Valspar Filoli Dark Iris.  When we started our first coat, it was coming out a little Grover blue, as my dad said.  But as it dried, it darkened quite a bit and now I think it’s the perfect color! Here’s a little bit of my inspiration:

So what do you think?  Are you a fan of the blue?
