i can haz red walz

We finally made a paint choice for the living room (remember the indecision?) I really wanted red so we went to Home Depot, got a bunch of red paint chips, threw them on the carpet, and chose one. And the winner is (drum roll, please . . . )

Behr's Sly Fox.

Looking at the paint chip reminded me of the wallpaper we bought for the bedroom but haven't put up yet. I pulled it out and - surprise - it's exactly the same color as the new living room paint. (Lighting makes it look different in these photos.) I guess that means we really like this color, yes?

Dick broke out the ladder and by shortly after noon, we were seeing red. Two walls are red; the remaining dining room wall (the yellow wall on the left in this photo) and the facing living room wall will be a different color, probably a light gold. Very Tuscan, very warm. We're loving it so far.
