How I Became Shared Jelly

When my husband and I first got married we used to get messages on our answering machine for "Shared" and "Jelly" instead of Jared and Shelly. The first time we chuckled a little over it and by the fourth or fifth time, we decided the name should stick somewhere. And so, I've been sharing jelly all over the internet since. Enjoy!

Last Room in My House

Since we've moved in a couple of years ago, we have painted just about every room in the house - until now.  I officially completed painting the very last room. Some of the rooms in this house were painted with only one coat and you could see every single brush stroke.  Others were just painted with unattractive colors.  Case in point:
They painted this lovely avocado green in the window sills, on the door frames, everything.  Needless to say, not my favorite, not what I wanted to work with. (This was the same color that my bathroom was before I painted it, too.  They painted it on the vanity, doors and ceiling in there.  wow!)
Anyways, this is my oldest son's room slash my craft room.  He's so nice to share his closet with me.  We originally were thinking about doing an orange - we both love orange - but as I was searching for inspiration rooms online, I found another cool alternative. 


The color is called shark gray.  Then we finished with "Coffee Whip" orange for a cool zig zag stripe around the room.  It was my first time taping off and trying to paint like this. It turned out well, though.  I've been seeing so many projects with chevron stripes lately and I really like how the blueish gray and orange compliment each other.  Next on the list for this room makeover are new curtains and matching bedspread to go with the orange accents.
