Yes I think the main reason the garden project worked so well last season was the soil preparation. We mixed in about three inches of aged compost and turned it under a full two weeks before anything went in the ground. That gave the microorganisms time to settle in. I also added a light dusting of azomite for trace minerals. For the tomatoes we used a simple fish emulsion every two weeks and they responded beautifully. If you want to try something similar I would recommend starting with a soil test first just to see where your pH and nutrient levels sit. Most local extension offices do them for a small fee. The results will tell you exactly what amendments to add rather than guessing. I think the key is not to overcomplicate things. Good soil healthy transplants and consistent watering will take you most of the way there.

We ended up going with the blue paint for the living room after all. It is called Stonewash and it reads more like a soft denim than anything too bold. I was worried it would feel cold but once we got it on the walls and the afternoon light came through it actually warmed up nicely. The trim is staying a clean white which helps define the edges. We still need to decide on curtain rods but I think a brushed nickel finish would tie in with the light fixtures. The whole process took longer than expected mostly because of the prep work. Sanding and patching always eats up more time than the painting itself. If you decide to do a similar project I would block out a full weekend just for the prep alone. Also we used a paint sprayer for the first time and it made a huge difference in the finish. Much smoother than rollers.
