Girls room

My two little girls share a room. There room is a very light tan color, with white beds, white bedding, and then Black and red accents in pillows and on the wall. I think their room is cute, but it never felt quite done. Maybe looking at the wall with the picture frames...with no pictures was the part that made me feel not done. :) I just want to do their room in a way that they can grow with for a while. So no there will be no huge mural of dora on the wall. I am planning on painting their room a yellow/gold stripe with white. Like this picture.

Since these two sleep together I decided to take away their two twin beds and put a full bed in their room. The bed frame is white and glazed brown. So then for their accent colors in the room I am placing two large houndstooth pillows on the bed.

With the houndstooth I want something else in their room with that in it, whether I stencil it in their closet so when you open that, or stencil it on a dresser. Maybe reupholster their little chairs in it. Here are some ideas.

The other color that I thought I might be able to pull into this room would be...

I don't know about that green. We will see if it all works together. I need to hurry and finish their room. They are in kind of limbo. Good luck. mwah

Just pick one

I have these two three ok maybe like 10 projects going at once. I'm working on the board and batten, on the main floor, I'm getting ready to paint the girls room, I'm ready to paint the piano room, I am trying to figure out if I want to tackle the painting of the entry and family room. Their ceilings all go up to the 2nd floor. I'm afraid of heights so me no likey the thought of painting that high. But we'll see. Then I realized how much furniture I have in my garage. I went out there and found two of my favorites. These two beauties.

Ok a little dusty, but still beauties. The first one is just a cabinet. It is adorable. It's so pretty I want to display it somewhere where I can see it every day. Now where would that be....Main floor somewhere, but I am still trying to figure out where. Once I figure out where I will know what color I want to paint it.

The 2nd piece is for my girls room. I have that armoire with a long dresser and actually two end tables...and a coffee table. I'm trying to figure out what I am using in their room. I like the armoire and they need the long table. Maybe I will keep the coffee table and end tables together for maybe the family room, or living room. I don't know.

I guess instead of having my hands in too many projects I should bust a move and get one of them done. Ok Ok...mwah

It's the camera again

I got my camera fixed. Yayyyyyy. Only 150 dollars later. But I figure that camera cost me around 1000 dollars so to fix it for 150, I'll take it.

I took some pictures of the projects I am doing right now. Well the card that the pictures goes on is not one that can just fit in my computer so I have this thing that connects to the computer and then uploads from the card. Well now I have misplaced that stupid little thing. The search and rescue are out today looking for it. I hope that it turns up. I don't want to buy another one of those.

When we built our house back in 2005 there were things that I thought I was making a good decision on and then now I think why did I choose that. There were things that we chose that we knew we could change out one day that would be super easy, but others we upgraded on so that we didn't have to worry about that. Well one of those things that are hard to change I want to change. My railing. My railing is a normal railing. (I promise I will get pictures) but I want to change it. I have this obsession now with it either being all black or a black white. Now when I say all black I mean stained as dark as I can get it. This however is a bigger project than I think. I am doing my research now to figure out if I can even pull this off without it looking really bad DIY er. But here are some inspiring pictures that I love. mwah!

I have 4 minutes

Ok it is 11:56. I have 4 minutes to post something for Friday. Sorry my day was taken over by a crazy person. NO it wasn't me. Ok I saw this and am sooo doing it in my house. Check it out.

Seriously it changes the spaces. Love Love Love. If you want to check out her website it is www.recapturedcharm.com She has such good ideas that inspire for days. mwah!

Gasp

Looking at this made me want to paint some cabinets. My hubs would kill me. We painted the cabinets in our last house. Red. It was beautiful, but they were old oak cabinets. The cabinets we have in our house right now are knotty Alder. Although he is always sweet and said....well it's your house too. I know...very sweet, but that would be a huge decision. So I think I will just do my other stuff first and then if it comes down to that then there you go.
But I think these before and after pictures will inspire you.

I know the kitchen isn't the exact same shot, but thats the same kitchen. I love this. I love the white. It makes everything seem so elegant. Well we'll see if this makes me want to paint cabinets or not. This was done at Isabella and Max's rooms She is amazing. Mwah!

Freakin excited

I'm so stinkin excited. I have officially decided on a color scheme for my entry way and my great room. It has seriously taken me like 6 months to decide. But here we go. In the entry way I will be having a stencil on this one wall that goes up the stairs. I have to decide between a couple stencils. Hopefully it doesn't take me as long as it took for the colors. But here are a couple that I love.

Now remember I have a color scheme and so the colors with the stencils are not the colors I will use. Ok get ready because this is the color scheme for the entry way.

Tell me you love it. I DO!!!!! Ok so then you can see my great room from my entry way and so the color scheme in there will be these 3 colors. Remember I have orangey brown couches.
The gray will be in there, and a hint of the turquoise but then these two.

Ok if you just gasped they aren't exact colors. But they are the color scheme. Let's watch the magic happen. Tomorrow I will pick up the colors. I will be painting the girls room white. Then while that is curing a bit I will be working on the entry way. I'm so freaking excited. Mwah!

Inspiration Friday

I bought this old vintage couch off KSL. I have the thought to reupholster it. But I am a little scared of this project and so it hasn't happened yet. I have decided that I do want to do it, I just don't know what color. I love black and white. So much that it drives my sister crazy. But then I love the new turquoise color that seems to be everywhere. I love yellow, I love red. I can dream of the room right now. Hmmmmm. Ok but check out these pieces of furniture. Which one do you love. So far I am absolutely in love with two. The first two. (the black and white one just a little bit more than the other)
