A little paint can go a very long way. Color symbolizes so much more than just a form of expression, it alters moods and sets a certain atmosphere. It's incredible really. I remember taking my Psychology class, the first semester of my first year in college, and attentively leaning forward on the edge of my desk as I learned that prisoner's attitudes changed when their cells were painted a different color. They stopped fighting and the guards noticed they were more relaxed. Though my bedroom was no prison cell I took advantage of a some-what unexpected situation (the removal of my floor) and decided to paint my bedroom walls. It was time for a change so I took God's blessing in disguise for me and ran with it (actually drove) all the way to the paint store. Compared to the strong dark pink color I first had, this sea glass just brightens and softens up my room. I open the door and feel welcomed in almost. Change is good. Change brings maturity, new things, and lessons to be gained and shared. I can't help but welcome God's 180 spins for my life when I've witnessed in the past His faithfulness and goodness to come through with higher plans than I could have ever wrapped my head around.

| ///Oh my lanta what was I thinking? Ignore the balloons and flowers, basically I just wanted to show you guys the wall color. This picture is super old (two, three years tops) and I had definitely done some redecorating after then. The color represented the strong-willed, opinionated, and energetic side of me. Now that I pay closer attention, the color seems bold yet a little too cold. I tell ya, thank God for change! /// |
After...
 |
| ///Ahhh...My eyes just go gaga. I love the beach and this color just makes me feel like I bottled up the sea and brought it home with me./// |
 |
| ///I love the combination of the white and light blueish green colors. Later I want to incorporate some coral and rose accessories but for now I am enjoying my crisp, clean, serene space./// |
 |
| ///My bare-stripped floors literally resemble the sandy shore lol but I'm praying for some wooden floors before my birthday. It feels nice to breath in the freshness in here. Blessed./// |
