Sandstone Cliff

Once again, I have fallen behind.  Quick update on my life.
  •  I have a full week-and-a-half of internship under my belt. I like it a lot. It has been a taste of the real life expectations of a Speech-Language Pathologist. Basically the documentation is a thousand times easier to the point where it is almost non-existent (a welcome change.)
  • I received two job offers last week (!?!?!) and I have been on top of the world ever since. 
  • Peter is coming to visit in exactly one week. If it is possible for a person to die of excitement then I might not even make to next Saturday.
  • I have been painting the last three weekends in a row. First my room, then my bathroom, and finally (today) Ali and I conquered the stairwells (ridiculously high ceilings,) the upstairs living area, and the downstairs bathroom-all in a one-day,10.5-hour marathon. The house looks completely different than it did three weeks ago. Other news, I may not be able to get out of bed tomorrow morning as once again, painting has tried to morph me into a contortionist.
On that note, I owe you some pictures. Here are pictures of my bedroom and bathroom. I decided to paint both rooms Sandstone Cliff, perhaps better known as light green.

New and Improved!

Here are the fabulous before-and-afters, as promised. Again, I had practically no part in this (other than picking out paint,) it was all due to the talent and motivation of my lovely cousin/roommate Ali.
Note: The color shows up a lot whiter in the photos than in real-life, it really is more of a beige.

 Yep, I came home and downstairs the crayola-explosion walls were all beigified. Not to mention the coffee table my dad liberated from the ditch circa 1992 was sanded down (it used to have "Brett" carved in it) and stained, there were new-to-us couches, two new rugs and a new TV stand. I am really digging the change.

What do you guys think?
