Life

Yes life gets in the way a little bit sometimes. I have been on the rampage getting everything cleaned up and colors picked out when my sister in law said she needed some help revamping an apartment. My eyes got big and was so excited to try everything that I would love to do on my house on a little smaller scale. The apartment is small. kitchen, family room, two bedrooms. It doesn't have a ton of light so of course we want it to be fresh and open. The cabinets are painted black and I really want to paint them white. I don't know if I have enough in me to do it, but hopefully. Here are some of the inspiring things online. Check out their websites. Love these colors. See a theme here.

Budget

Too much going on. I have been putting together a budget. It kind of sucks. Why? Because I really just want to be able to do what I want to do when I want to do it. It's true. Whatever.

Well I have been getting ready to do the board and batten in my entry, and living room. The only problem is the ceilings. I don't know if I should just leave them their creamy color or try and paint them white. I have to do the ceiling first. So I have to decide on my gray. It is between a couple of colors.



They are very similar. I just don't want a gray with a tone of blue, or purple. Thats hard to find. But I have realized that I have to first figure out the ceiling part of it. I don't want to hire someone to do it. UGH. MONEY Remember the whole budget thing. This sucks.
