I like how the colors turned out. The cream color is nothing special, but I love the chocolatey color on bottom. It looked like chocolate milk going on the walls. I was relieved to start painting to bottom and realize that I like it... I was terrified that I wouldn't since I skipped the samples this time around. I also straighted up and reorganized our bookshelf... its possible that some books that we've (ahem *Brian*) owned for at least 5 years and never touched did not make it back onto the shelf... we'll see if anyone noticed in the next year...
Oh, and by the way... I NEVER want to paint around crown molding and chair rails ever again! Even with an edger, what a slow, painfully annoying process!

Looks great. It's so awesome what paint can do to a room, isn't it? Also, I second the whole chair rails being a pain. For some reason, we decided to put a bunch of them in our house, and the paint job doesn't look so clean because I got tired after painting 8 rooms in the house.
You would also be proud of me. I am taking your whole UFO challenge and finally making progress on some of the things I've been wanting to do. It takes twice as long with Baleigh around, but it's getting there. Right now I'm making a butterfly mobile for her for $0 since I've got all the materials. It resembles a Pottery Barn one for $59 (found here---- http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/jumbo-paper-butterfly-mobile/?pkey=dmobiles-hanging-decor&bnrid=3517705&cm_ven=AfCompShop&cm_cat=ShopStyle&cm_pla=GAN&cm_ite=Std). It definitely won't look as good, but I think it's still cute and Baleigh will enjoy looking at it. I'll take pictures when I'm done.
I LOVE that butterfly mobile! I really would like to do that in Allison's room, but I think it'd be too much with the canopy (a la Pottery Barn) I'm planning on putting over her bed. I'd love to see it when its done!
Yay! I love it. You guys can whine about painting all you want- I'm still in the optimistic (read: naive) state of thinking that after years of living with white walls I don't care how much work it will be to finally have colored walls! I'm a big fan of the color scheme, I think it turned out great- so congrats on completing your project.
