NEW PAINT..NEW YEAR.. NEW BEGINNINGS....

Why is this first thing I want to do every January is PAINT!! Guessing new beginnings, new look, fresh start to 2011!!  I have going through paint color after paint color trying to land on the perfect color for my dining room and living area.  I painted my kitchen last and I still love it... Painted it Ralph Lauren Canvas Natural. I thought about bright white!! Now that would be a huge change!!
Thoughts??
Happy Monday!
