Gone but not forgotten

You know, this always happens to me. I wish I could be one of those bloggers that can consistently blog about their life, house, or whatever. But in the end I am one of those that blogs and then life consumes me and I kind of disappear for a period of time. Pretty sad. I really need to work on that. In my defense, I blame school. University has gotten all sorts of chaotic with the end of the semester quickly approaching. With the end of the semester drawing near means my stress level has increased tenfold. Or more. Who knows.

Anyway, I'm taking the time to update about our progress in the bathroom. We are almost done with the painting, just need to trim out the top of the wall. Then we can move our focus to finishing up painting the trim, and the medicine cabinet. Oh yeah, and there is the door yet. But something tells me that is going to be more than just one coat and we are done.

So we say good-bye to Feeling Froggy green and hello to Asparagus green. Kev felt the Feeling Froggy was waxing and waning on his nerves. Just a bit too bright green for his taste. And in all honestly, it was bright. Really bright. Almost bordering on obnoxious bright green. Despite the brightness of Feeling Froggy, I really liked it. No, really I did. But now that we have Asparagus up on the wall, yeah, I have no idea what I was thinking when I decided on Feeling Froggy. Asparagus is such a better color and it doesn't cause heart palpitations upon walking into the bathroom, which I guess is a good thing.

I don't think there is any way I could accurately describe the greens for you, so I'll resort to pictures instead
Old wall color
Yes, that is Feeling Froggy in all of its glory.

And now for the new color - Asparagus

Just for fun, a shot that shows both color at once.

In my opinion, even though I loved Feeling Froggy, I definitely see the new color as an upgrade to the bathroom. It seems more tranquil and more inviting.
