Decorating Advice and Paint Colors

We moved around a lot when I was growing up. Then we finally settled into a house we built & have lived there for ten years. Well my family has lived there for ten years. I’m part of the boomerang generation so I move home for awhile & then move to an apartment, rinse & repeat. However, when I say the word “home” I’m not usually referring to my apartment. I’m talking about the house that I helped build. I have a vested interest in this place, I pretty much put the entire roof on by myself. As such, I’m always really interested in what is going on here, especially in home improvement. Our conversations over the phone go something like this,

Mom: “I’m thinking of painting the dining room brown”

Me: “Ugly brown or pretty brown”.

Mom: “Well pretty brown. I’m thinking of umm this brownish color you know that is just umm brown”.

I was so excited when I won a Packet8 Video Phone because I would be able to keep track of things at home no matter where I live. I opened up the box & saw this:

I was so excited that I felt like this:

I was really impressed that it even came with a nice protective case. I was a little worried about setting it up, but it was really easy. It came with instructions, but I used the online installation guide which was so fun. Whoever thought I would say that installing something was fun?

Then I got the video phone up & running & it looked like this:

I was amazed at how clear the picture is. The best thing about VOIP is the price. You can have free unlimited calling in the U.S. & Canada for just $24.99 a month. It even works as a router. You can have your traditional phone number transfered to their service which would probably save a lot of money. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words so get a Packet8 phone & see how true that saying is.
