Huzzah for our first blog post! This will be our wedding website when I get around to making it, but for now it's just a blog. We've been engaged for a few weeks, and I have officially caught the wedding planning bug. My Pinterest has exploded, we've been on venue hunting trips, and I've already got an
awesome designer friend working on the invitations. Nothing is final yet, however, so I don't have anything to show you about the wedding.
However, you might know that Joshua took a church appointment back in June. His new church, and consequently new parsonage, is in Houston, AL, a tiny little town on Smith Lake. He's loving it so far, and since I get to move in there in 7ish months, he's letting me do some decorating! We needed to paint the master bedroom so he could move his stuff in there, so we started our first home project together.

I went looking for color palettes, and found this one that I think is really supposed to be for a kids' room, but I like it!
I love color, but I am awful at picking out paint. My eye is drawn to the most beautiful colors on the cards, but I can't seem to picture what they will look like on the wall. Joshua didn't know that about me yet, so he let me pick out the paint color, Wild Western Asparagus, and it. was. awful!! It was a really light pastel green that glowed like it was radioactive when the sun hit it. On top of that, it's nothing like the green on the color palette, so I'm not sure why I even picked it.

SO, once we got the first coat on and figured out how much we hated it, we headed on the 30 minute trip back to Lowe's in Cullman, on the search for a prettier green. We found lots of them, and I got overwhelmed with all of the choices, so I let Joshua pick. He picked the two he liked, and we held them up to the pillowcase that will be in the room. Then I picked the one I liked best, Seaweed wrap! I thought that was pretty good cooperation for our first big project together.

| Lovely! Finally! |
The last part went really smoothly, and I think it looks great! It's a little darker than the color palette, but I think it makes it look more adult. We'll have a blue bedspread and brown, cream and orange accents throughout the room. I can't wait until I get to move in!

What do you think of our new master bedroom?
