*GASP* We painted the brick!

When you’re trapped inside all winter with an infant, you start to feel a little oppressed. Like the walls are closing in. Something heavy, orange, and brown looming over you, weighing you down.


Orange and brown?


Yes. For me, this color pairing will forever be associated with the feeling of entrapment. Sorry, Cleveland Browns. Your jerseys just happen to be the same oppressive color of our fireplace:

We’ve been stuck in a decor rut with our most-used room in the house. And it’s because an entire wall is nothing but 80s-spectacular orange and brown brick. For the past two years, we’ve kicked around the idea of white-washing or painting it, but just couldn’t pull the trigger. Other things to do, plus OMG! You can’t paint brick!
