Our New House!!

So just in case I haven't told anyone yet...We are getting a new house!!  We will be renting to own for the next year or so & then will be re-applying for our home loan.  Unfortunately we didn't get approved this first time due to us being new residents in the area.  The major requirements are that we need to be living in the same place and have our jobs for around a year before we can get approved. Anyway we are super excited because it is our 1st house that will be OURS. It's about damn time right?? The house is close to 3000 sq. feet, it is a brick slab home that is in the country on a private drive. Pretty much it is what we have always wanted.  The kids have their own bathroom (thank GOD), we have two living rooms, so one will be my pretty and formal one, and the other that ascends off the kitchen has a fireplace will be formally known as Fred & Dalton's "man den". We painted the kitchen and the man den a light olive green, my beautiful living room we painted a slate dark turquoise blue, Allies room that has her own walk-in closet is painted a light aqua (of course) that will have an ocean theme, Dalton's room is going to be pained a mossy oak green and will be camo or hunting theme, we have a really cool old mosquito tent that will be draped over his bed so it will be like he is sleeping outside in the tent! He is very excited about that, although I showed him the color I picked for his room on a day that he was very cranky and he informed me that it was a "yucky color that looked like poo" but now he has since changed his mind and likes the color. Wow he is so like his daddy! Our room is the only room that has been a challenge, when picking out colors, Fred & I agreed that we needed some pretty bright colors to make it look a little brighter in the house since we are completely covered with giant oak & pine trees and there is little sun light that gets in, which is very good for our electricity cost, but not good for the lighting aspect.  So we picked out a bright orange for our room, we had in the past painted a bedroom for a girl that was orange and we both loved it, however I guess the orange that we picked out was not the one we thought we loved. Our room looks like a giant pumpkin or carrot!!! We still want to go with an orange so we are puzzled to what shade or tint we should go with to not so bright and crazy but bright enough so that it doesnt' look like we are living inside of a dark pumpkin! What to do??? If you guys have any suggestions PLEASE share.  Our house also has what I am calling my sun room or as the kids say they would love to make it into a rec room.  It was part of the outside carport that the former owners closed in with beautiful pained windows and a real stone floor.  The kids and of course Fred wants to put a pool table and pinball machine in it, which really does sound fun, however I really would like to put my treadmill, and a cute little breakfast table in there? I think I'm going to win this one, in fact I know I will, I'm the mother...right?? Anyway we have a huge pond that we will be sharing with our only neighbors and they are great by the way. They have SIX boys and one is the kids' age so they have a playmate, also we have two acres that comes with the house, and a huge advantage is that our land butts right up to David & Laura's land, so we are close to family. We have all decided that we are going to chip in and purchase a golf cart so that we don't have to walk the 3 acres to get to one another's house. Well I have pictures of the house but they turned out terrible, so I am going to go take more today after work and will post them ASAP!
