Blue room

This week we got new blinds in Missy's room and the little boy's room. I wanted to paint in the boy's room, because it really needed it. I was wanting to paint another coat of the yellow they have had since they were babies. I picked that color, and I still love it. It's such a warm, sunshiney color. But they did NOT want yellow. They wanted blue. Here are a couple of pictures of the yellow:

Lemur in his PJs. Notice the one foot out and one foot in. Classic Lemur quirk. I don't know why he always does this, but it's how he prefers to wear his PJs.
And here's a picture of the blue. I like the blue (though not as much as the yellow)--but it is such a cool color. And seems so much darker. Oh, well. It's their room. I was sad to cover up the yellow, but I guess that's what happens when they grow up and form their own opinions!
I have to put a plug in for the kind of paint we used. It was "green", as in environmentally friendly. It came in a post-consumer recycled plastic bucket, and had no VOCs. Which stands for volatile organic compounds. In other words, it has virtually no fumes going on and has no "emissions" when dry. Very neat. The boys slept in the room the same day I painted. There wasn't a huge variety in color choices, and it was slightly more pricey, but the coverage was even better than I got with the yellow.
