Working on a Room Makeover

Here is the before
no paint and off center window

Here's the after

I am still working on it. First of all I am wanting to put one more color behind the brown curtains, I am thinking a light blue and hopefully add a decal on that. What do you think?
I also need a curtain for the other window. What color would be best? Brown? Light blue? Off-white? And debating on that color I need some throw pillows for the bed and I would love a ceiling fan.
So far I am very happy with it and I am looking forward to getting it finished and having a cozy retreat of a room. So give me some options ladies-or just come over and see for yourselves and then help a girl out :)
And Happy Easter!

Project #2

My new kitchen!

The old kitchen, brown and white all over
The walls are now, Tate Olive

and the cabinets are Cliff Brown

We spent the weekend painting the kitchen. As soon as we moved in 3 years ago I have wanted to paint the kitchen-yes we are procrastionaters. So finally, we did it and I love it. I walk in and it makes me smile. I was really nervous because when we got home with the paint I had originally wanted the cabinets Olive and the walls the brown. But the brown was too dark for the walls and I freaked a bit and then decided to try it the other way and we really like it.

Stay tuned for Project #3 painting the trim in the living/dining rooms white!!

First Set of Spring Projects

Door knobs before

and after

blinds before-thanks to my boys

and now..Ahh



This was our first set of projects. The blinds were a must, I was going crazy with sections missing out of ALL of our blinds. So hopefully these new blinds are tougher. The doors in our house did not latch. Yes, for 3 years we lived with doors that did not latch. I don't know why because we now enjoy being able to close all of our door completely now. Which is good because Benny needs "privacy" now to use the potty, but still walks in on me :)

New....Slip Covers!

Here are my NEW chocolate brown suede slip covers that I've had for a month, and finally put on while the boys were napping today.
Asher woke up right as I started taking pictures, so you'll see a not quite awake little boy in a couple of the pics.
Benny came down from his nap and exclaimed "Mommy! What are those on my couch?"
Come on by and check them out.
Now all I need are new blinds, some painting and curtains....even though we have lived here for 3 years. :) Oh well, everything including myself is a work in process.
