I wanted to put a picture of my new dining room paint up too! One night this week while Ben was out of town, I decided I needed to paint the dining room. I can never sleep when Ben is out of town, so I decided to be productive! :) I went for a mossy/olive green color. I thought it was going to be too dark, but I like it (plus, Ben said that I couldn't paint another dining room red...every place we've lived, we've had a red dining room). There is enough light in there that the darker color works. So, you can see in this picture the wall on the right is painted...but the far wall isn't. The reason only 3 walls are painted is because there is no where to stop the paint on that wall b/c it continues into the foyer. Anyone have any suggestions (I am by no means an interior designer, so I need help)? I think that this is my only choice without painting the whole thing, but thought I would get y'all's opinion. Next room on my paint list...Sam's room. Which is currently very pastel...which you all know I am not a huge pastel fan...I can't wait for it to actually look like his room again. I may need some tips on that room too b/c the bottom already has stripes, which I think I may use, but paint it one color (flat/glossy). We'll see.

Love the color...don't know how to tackle that dining/foyer wall. Tough one! The shoes are too cute. My bro-in-law has a sports store here, and Emily has all these little New Balance shoes. I think they're so cute!
Love the shoes - and your blog is so Snazzy!!!!! I think you have to leave the living room as it is...that's a tough one. You are quite the expert painter!!
I love that olive color! In our old house we had a room with 3 walls of 1 color and 1 with a different color, however it was more of an accent wall. I think you should leave it as is.
Jenna had these same shoes in 6 wide, only they were in pink. They say they grow out of the wide thing.
Grace is size 5 and WIDE feet too! The only shoes that will fit on her feet are those Robeez!! But I love them, so we're good until we start venturing outside again. Then I will need the wide tennis shoes as well!! :) Love the paint color... in our condo, we had that same issue with the upstairs room, and ended up putting a fancy piece of molding down the wall to "separate" the 2 spaces, so you could try that or just leave it as is! It looks good!!
We're in a wide too! We have a pair of stride rites in 4 wide...I really like the new balances!
not to worry, andrew suffers from fred flintstones feet, too. we've had luck with the stride rite outlet finding extra wides for him. but i agree that those shoes are really cute. glad you found some that work. oh, and i love all the painting you are doing. it looks great.
