Hi Trulyshi,  Your colors sound great.  I have been stripping wallpaper, and we have painted the kids’ rooms.  Both the same color, which is the same color as our room.  (also, boring)  I don’t even like the color, but we had leftover paint, and we are on a budget.  Also, not thrilled with the bedspreads, but they were also bought on a budget.  I think I have to stop that and start buying things I like instead of buying them cheap.  Although, I have to admit, I get a thrill out of finding bargains.  I like the one bedspread.  My sister-in-law doesn’t like it, so now I have my doubts.  Something else I need to work on.  The bathroom is next.  Half-stripped and still a mess.  The paper was so hard to remove.  I took off the plaster along with it.  Enough about my decorating woes.   No matter what, it keeps me busy and change is good. 
I used to live not too far across the river from your town.  Before your casino, when we were very young my husband and I would take weekend trips to your town. A nice weekend get away.   Good entertainment, good food, shopping…a room with a view of the river.  Our city didn’t look too bad from across the river and at night!   Also, safer to enjoy it from a far! lol  I don’t think we could enjoy the trip now a days.  All I would see and think about is the casino.  What a shame!
