New Decorations!

Thanks to my awesome sidekick, Lori, this weekend's shopping spree was a success!  Now she just needs to come by to put everything in it's rightful place.  As you can see below, we found some great treasures for the bookshelves but they need some reorganizing.  Lori is the master of that!  We shopped at local antique stores and HomeGoods.  I also picked up the new lampshade at Lowes yesterday, large P was from Hobby Lobby, and the small P was at Michaels.  I did have some of the other items already!

update on home progress

Here you go!  Before/After.

Starting off with the easy stuff - the baseboards and trim are all getting a fresh coat of white as are the stairs.  Right now the stair risers are just primed which is why you see all the scuffs.

Downstairs bathroom.  I have repainted this bathroom probably 4 times on my own and I just can't get it right.  This time I'm leaving it to the professionals. I've chosen Sherwin Williams Silver Strand (#7057) as the color.

Kitchen - here we're going from screaming yellow to Ben Moore Light Khaki (#2148-40).  You can see the actual color in the pic of the back door.  We're painting the kitchen to match the existing living room color.  And yes, I'm painting over the mural in the niche. I'm really bummed about it b/c I think it's beautiful but sadly it just will not go with the new theme.

And finally the Dining Room.  This one I left to the professionals b/c I am not tackling this red.  We've chosen Sherwin Williams Repose Gray (#7015) for this room. After all is said/done, the downstairs will be a very neutral pallet to get us ready to put this bad boy on the market in spring, 2016. :-)
