I Love Rainbows.

It is one of the things I have in common with my eleven (almost 12!) year old sister. I don't know what that says about me. Whatever.


I also love everything shabby chic.


Rainbow love+shabby chic love=contradiction.


The one thing I know about shabby chic-ness, is that it mostly involves ruffles, lace, grouping stuffs, and WHITE. Lots and lots of whites.


But I love rainbows.


So trying to figure out how to decorate my house has been a little bit of a problem.


I want shabby chic,
but I also want colors.


I LOVE THE RAINBOW!


Its like this battle going on constantly in my head.


Our room is pretty much all white and I love it, but I wanted something more...


To satisfy my dueling personalities, I decided on white walls downstairs and...


colored ceilings!


It's like a rainbow in our house!

Yes, it is orange. "Ripe Tangerine" to be exact.

We painted the ceiling "Bright Sunshine".


I've got sunshiii-eee-ine!

That isn't all we've been doing...we also finished the floor in the second living room. Which means we can move everything out of living room number one (you will see pictures soooon!) so I can paint that ceiling and finish the floors. Stay tuned for an update on that in the next couple of days.
