Pregnancy + Painting?

It must be something about me, pregnancy and painting. I end up doing 90% of my painting when pregnant (please no more comments about huffing fumes--Evan is already on my case!).

Something got in me to change my office...and when that happens, I don't rest till it's done.
I've sewed three new throw pillows, painted, cleaned and purged...in the past 48 hours. I'm still trying to figure out how to cover my mouse pad (I realize this sounds extreme, but hey, why not?). So if you live in the area, come check out my new office. Those of you who don't, well, this picture of one pillow will have to do!
Btw, someone needs to invent paint that will change colors for 6 months, then change back. If they had that I wouldn't have had to change my red wall to khaki! (I like a change for spring and red is not the color I want in the spring) One more thing, I'm totally happy with my paint choice and since good colors are hard to find...It's Benjamin Moore: Manchester Tan. It's light, which is what I was going for. You can see a picture here, but as you know, online never really does it justice:

What should I re-decorate next?? I'm thinking my hallway...

okay, so i feel like the nesting begins WAY sooner with subsequent pregnancies...it's so crazy. but, it's good you got started now b/c then you can fit in more projects!:) i totally agree on the paint...it's those catalogs that come so you want red for the holidays & then want the light colors for spring/summer...i totally get it! invent it & do it!!!!
