Bed & Breakfast in Estes Park, Colorado

I painted our entry way a soft mauve pink. I love painted wood floors. They have a warmth and cozy feel to them. We were not able to rescue the original bare floors, but that's okay--this has added warmth and color.

I saved this paint palette from when I picked the wall colors for this room and one of the bedrooms. Choosing a color from a booklet such as this helps in coordinating home decor and is easy to file for future reference. Next year I'll use this to choose new fabric for my seats.

This is me posing by my newly painted floor. The 2 coats of paint took 3 days to dry--ideally I would have given it 5 days. Yes, I had my hair chopped off and painted red and orange with white stripes.

This is the room Eric and I spend most of our time in. Drinking tea, reading, enjoying the sounds of birds, and watching the elk and deer out the window. It catches the mud in the winter too. Eric keeps binoculars on hand to people watch what we call "the walkers". Our enclosed porch is ideal for us.
