A New Look For Our Home

I've decided to allow you all into my mess . . . I am still painting and unpacking and trying to find a place for everything.  However, I wanted you to see the progress we are making with the painting.  I still have one wall in the bedroom and some trim work to do.  Oh, and I haven't even began to work on the two spare bedrooms and the two bathrooms.  So, here we go . . .

This is the dining room, with one wall painted 'La Fonda Antique Red' and the rest of the room painted 'Cafe Miel'.

The kitchen is surrounded in the red color.
 



Here is my son, Beau, taking a moment to relieve some tension!



We added the red to the hallways.

This is the Master Bedroom - went with a 'Chocolate Brown' and a 'Jekyll Sans Souci Green' accent wall.


We replaced the dinning room light fixture with the Chrystal Chandelier that my Dad gave my Mom for their 15th Wedding Anniversary.

Trying out some decorating ideas on top of the cupboards.

We have made a great deal of progress - but, I still have days that feel like I am taking two steps forward and one step back!  I made it through the last 'unkown' box today and have about half a dozen or so boxes left that I do know the contents of.  My garage sale pile is steadily growing and hopefully I will have enough stuff to sale, that it will be worth the hassle.

Looks great Madge! Please tell me the names of the paint are your doing and not the actual names. They're too funny!

Hilary - actual names!! That's why I HAD to post them - Beau and I were getting such a kick out of the names. And it's paint from Lowes.
