Some Paint

so here we go.  jon's been out of town for the last two weeks and gets home tomorrow.  i've been a busy little beaver painting EVERY ROOM IN THE HOUSE.   let's just say we've moved a lot in the last few years so i'm ready just to LIVE.  i'm done painting.  whew!  and i'm apparently nuts.  don't do that folks!  paint a house, by yourself, while your husband's out of town, and you have three kids.

where to begin.... i haven't taken a lot of pictures yet so these aren't super great.  remember the entry way??

Photobucket

there's a little more going on now.

Photobucket

the hot pink action will make sense when i can finally afford the curtain fabric.

Photobucket

i've never really known what to do with our diplomas....and they're so pretty!!! an office isn't in my future so i just worked them in with the picture wall.

Photobucket

the living room looking into the dining room that'll be our playroom.

Photobucket

we took off that brass fireplace cover and the chandelier will move to the back dining room. 

Photobucket

dark dated kitchen.  i wanna rip it all out.  not an option.

Photobucket

drawer pulls are on the wait list for $$.  but the bottom cabinets are off black and the uppers a griege.  you know, gray/beige.  the cabinet doors are not going back.

Photobucket

oh yeah! did you notice the wood that was living under the carpet?  and we took down those cabinets over the peninsula.

Photobucket

fireplace screen is gone along with the mantel.  aaaaannnnnddd it's really white ;)  trying to figure out what will live there. 

Photobucket

the boys rooms both basically looked like this.

Photobucket

rowan's room so far.  there's going to be a trim piece between the colors there and that curtain rod needs to get pushed in and the trim will be white and the changing pad will have a cover and the boy will wear clothes.

Photobucket

the dog painting inspired the room and the colors.

Photobucket

the dresser might need some new knobs ;)

Photobucket

here's a peak at the boys room.   i painted a little dresser that someone gave us.  i'm gonna do the lamps white and the shades....somethin!
