getting Hudson's room together








Hudson's wood laminate flooring has been ordered and will be installed in two weeks. Bring on the paint! The paint color selection story is fun. :) I searched online one night at different paint manufacturer web sites for a light/medium blue color that would go with Hudson's space themed bedding. It didn't have to color match, but I wanted it to be something that was clean and bright and could serve for something other than a child's bed room. I found a free color capture iPhone app at the Benjamin Moore web site that is really cool. It allows me to take a picture of something, like Hudson's bedding, with my phone and then suggests paint colors for me. I found a blue that looked just right, tapped on the color to see a larger image of it, and gasped at the color's name. YIN YANG!



Okay, gotta get off my rear and finish emptying Hudson's room of things that were once our home office. The painting starts today!

  4. Love the space theme! So cute! Happy decorating!

    I had a similar paint color experience-- after trying many (many) shades of purple for our daughter, we discovered the perfect shade turned out to be "Purple Dragon." Now to find a purple Chinese dragon for her room....
