I really need to find more time for this blogging thing.
So I have not posted since January. Been busy getting our home just the way we like it. Long way to go. Basement refinishing to start soon; installation of swimming pool and a fire pit sitting area are all major projects yet to finish. Most of the interior I have painted and redecorated to our liking. We have really spruced the place up! Added new tile backsplash in our bathroom that matches the new paint colr, changed out the fixtures and plate covers to give it a more "primitive" feel as that is the look I am going for.
This pic shows the mirrors before/after transition. I built and painted a frame for the big, plain piece of mirror glass to dress it up a bit. Then we painted, tiled and decorated to our liking, as shown below:
The dining room was a major transformation, just by changing the color. The gray that was in there was drab and just plain hideous. We like warmer colors so we settled on a Honey Beige and a Redwood accent wall. Pretty cute, especially once decked out in our decor!
These two rooms were just a start. I will post the other rooms as I get the photos taken. As for now, I have a foreign exchange student to finish preparing for! Yes, a foreign exchange student will be living with us for the next year! I need to get better at planning time for blogging so I can blog about our adventures as we show her America. She is a beautiful young lady from Antwerpen, Belgium. She is going to be a Senior this year so I will get to take part in Senior picture sessions, graduation and parties, PROM and all that other great stuff! We cannot wait to meet her tomorrow and spending the most amazing year with her! Isn't she beautiful?!
