A little home improvement

We bought a new rug for our living room. The other one is still fine but I am constantly steam cleaning it to try and keep it clean. It is a tan color. So the new one is a bit darker and perfectly clean and I love it. My house feels like new right now.

Joe and I also decided to paint our bedroom. We really needed to do it because when we put in the bathroom downstairs we had to cut a hole in the wall of our bathroom to get the vent pipes up and out of the roof. It has been dry walled and spackled but needed to be painted. So we did one wall last night just to test the color we got, it is taupe. When the older girls saw it in the morning Jerika said it is purple. (What?) and Jacqueline says it is purple and brown mixed together.
When we were picking out the colors at Lowe's we decided on two colors and could not pick. We dont think we are very good at that sort of thing, so I did a pole with the people in the paint section as to what they thought was the best one. They were all willing to participate. That is how we ended up with Taupe. I like it, so now we will get the other walls done, hopefully sooner than later as it looks weird to only have one wall done.
