I've never built a room based upon an inspiration piece and this rug has the colors we want for the walls, floor, furniture, and accents. Now we just need to fix the leaky

Since I'm also a color geek I love your descriptions of colors and why you choose them. Your interior designer-self has been quiet lately- usurped by the bicycle goddess no doubt. Glad to see her peeking out of the closet again. ;-)

My inner decorator has been stymied by what to do with those unpainted rooms, to be honest. I started puzzling it out during the drive home from Pennsic and when I saw that rug, I was pretty much slammed in the face with how the basement should look. The bedroom color came from a spread in Real Simple. It turns out that shade is trendy. I'm so behind the curve. ;)

Uh, yeah. Paint is just about the cheapest refurb you can do to a room. Some people...

Thanks! It's a good thing I enjoy painting since there is so much of it in my future. :) I'm looking forward to seeing after pictures of your bathroom redo, as well. Is this the guest bath or master? If it's the guest, did y'all finish the master? I don't remember reading about that completion.
