P Is For Projects

With the countdown for the new baby coming and for a full house at Thanksgiving time the race IS ON!

My list of "to do's" has been paired down to only the necessities. Things that will make the MOST overall improvement and impact. With that in mind we only have 2 major things left...#1 Paint the stairwell and upstairs hallways with a neutral color (we all know how I feel about nasty flat white paint) and #2 Paint the living room 2 tones of green and add a chair rail in between.

PLUS if there's time it would be nice to finally fix the ceiling in the kitchen (in hopes that our precious random leaky roof has once and for all, been solved).

But in the past weeks I have completed the finishing touches to this 1/2 bath, by adding paint (an oops color we decided not to use in another room), spray painting these once "red" mirrors for some wow factor, and finding black & brushed nickle for the accessories that helped tie the whole room together. I was hoping for a more "sophisticated" look, since it is the bathroom used by guests.

And then there is my favorite...the black front door. I absolutely LOVE how this turned out. The previous color was the same as the siding. It totally just blended in. You couldn't even tell there was a door there. Very uninviting. So we chose the black to add that extra "pop". (gosh I sound like a host on HGTV)
