Here’s the next round of pics from our home improvement extravaganza! First up we have the ceiling fan. This is in our bedroom and it replaced the tacky shiny brass fan that was in there when we bought the house. The set up of the room requires that the fan has lights (something I’m not crazy about, but it’s necessary). So we found this fan (half price!) at Lowe’s but the blades were a light “wood” that didn’t match the bedroom. So I painted them the lighter shade of the paints we used in the room:ceiling fan
I’ve put out most of my fall/Halloween decorations including this sweet frame I found (on clearance at Hallmark for like $2!). Sara gave me one of Jake’s Halloween pictures for it because he is my little pumpkin pie:Dumbo
We finished putting together our new Ikea armoire for our den on Sunday (the old tv stand was too small with these high ceilings):armoire Note the Carolina Panthers whomping on the Saints, and my cute little retro Halloween pails. =)
Here’s a picture of one of the living room walls post icky barbed wire stencils, lots o primer, and two coats of Silver Sage paint: living room
And finally, the kitchen. Here’s the breakfast nook before. Full of curtains, dishes, stupid looking light with sprayed on “texture” that really looked like dirt, dusty valances, multi colored stencils, and window shelves:kitchen before
And here we are one coat into the new butter cream color with new light fixture and big gorgeous windows sans curtains (I still don’t know what to do here). The furniture (and a ladder) are pushed to the middle of the room while we paint. Once everything’s complete I’ll post better after pics, but for now here you go:kitchen after
So if anyone has ideas for window treatments for our kitchen please let me know. Oh, and this weekend we had date night on Saturday and saw “The Rundown“. So cute! Much better than we expected. Very funny with a clever script and excellent pairing of The Rock and Seann William Scott. We went for Christopher Walken but I have to say I was really impressed with that Rock fellow.
Bless Your Heart
