Salubrious decorating

Wordy Wednesday as requested. The definition: beneficial, healthful; favorable to health or well-being.  I know it is not a weird word and thankfully, I've found one I actually knew. I chose this word for the week because this whole painting half-house re-do is healthful to me. A salubrious project if you will. I love when we do house projects that are cheap, but have a big impact on what we see everyday. Rooms get tired to me and make me antsy after a year of staying mostly the same. I have to switch 'em up a bit. My eyes like the newness and my head gets a little bit of peace from these projects.  I always thought my grandparent's (on all sides) were crazy for never changing their homes. I thought it seemed kind of sad to always have that picture hanging there and the couch pushed against that wall and the walls always white.  I now know that my paternal grandparent's, at least, were NOT like that at all. They were just old my whole childhood and didn't do this silly stuff anymore! While moving into and living in our (their) house we've seen the layers of multiple colors of paints in the corners and crevices of all the rooms. Change was here. I've poured over their old photos to uncover whatever mysteries I could and in the process, I've realized that a couch was NOT always there. They moved stuff around too. In almost every living room photo there is different furniture in different places. It is good to know that stuff. I like thinking of them doing what we are now doing. It also makes me feel a little less nutty. Salubrious re-decorating.
So, that being said…last night, "we" painted Keely's room.  We couldn't think of what to have the gal do while we tore up her room and spread bright colored paint around, so we had to let her "help".
It wasn't as disasterous as I feared. She dripped paint everywhere, but she did not paint anything other than walls. I decided we'd first try one wall in the brightest?darkest? color I got and if that was awful we'd go with a light aqua on all walls. So we did the one wall blue and the other three white. It was kind of sad to me to cover over that baby lavender color. My girl isn't a baby anymore. It is so obvious in many ways. But anyway…here it is….
SHA-PLOW!!!
That's a lot of color for our house.  Don't mind the rest of the room. It won't be tackled until this weekend. What do ya think?
The rest of our house is in pale colors…pastel maybe?  I like calm colors normally. They make the space feel relaxed and calm and a little bigger, but I thought we should try this happy color.  The only other risky paint is our mini-hallway.
Now, her room is directly to the left of this mossy green hallway. The color contrast bothers my eyes, very green and then that bright aqua/torquoise. I dunno. I like our house to have a good flow. Maybe it'll be next on the hit list. mwah-ha-ha-ha.
