Chocolatey goodness

Despite my nose woes (heh), I have been hard at work in the maroon palace.  The doors and window are painted, the ceiling is painted, and the walls are on their way to being completed.  This is what it looked like last time we checked in:

And here it is now:

Everybody loves chocolate, right?  It is quite bold.  And dark.  The color is 'Bark' from Glidden, it is the color I used on our fireplace wall in the living room:

I love it in the living room, but I did have a little 'painters remorse' moment after doing a whole wall in this room last night.  Thankfully, I'm over the fear and now hope believe it will be fabulous when everything is done! 

I LOVE my doors now.  LOVE LOVE LOVE!  I must've taken 10 pictures of them this afternoon.  On my lunch break.  With my black dress pants dragging on the dirty, dusty floor.  Hey, that's what those sticky roller thingys are for. 

Can you spot the other (sort of) big change?

The ceilings are NOT WHITE.  I used a very pale blue that Boozie Susie had left in our basement.  Hold the phone, she actually purchased a nice color!  It is Behr 'Harbor Sky', and it looks pretty white during the day, so it was a relatively 'safe' color for me to go with.  Plus, it was free - so that was another incentive to use it.  I'm generally a 'ceilings should be white' kinda girl, so this is definitely a departure for me.  I wanted to be a little more daring in this room, so we'll see if it all works out - or if I will have to call myself 'Boozie Sara' a couple weeks from now!  This pic is a great representation of the colors:

We actually had a good time painting together last night.  Shaun even drew me this stick dude holding a olympic torch rose.  Isn't he cute?

So, what do you think about the color?  Am I nuts? 

Mmm...nuts and chocolate....
