Play Room

Happy Friday!

I want to wish my nephew Kevin a Happy Birthday today! He is one of the nicest boys I know and I hope he has a wonderful day. We wish we lived closer so we could be there to celebrate with him. We love you Kevin!!!

Last night was Ms. M's Art Show at her Preschool. She wanted to look especially pretty for her big debut but all of her fancy dresses were Christmas plaids. She ended up borrowing one from her sister and I think it was perfect choice. My parents bought it on their trip to Ireland and it couldn't be any cuter!

It was a really fun night and M's Starry Night was amazing! Ms. S thoroughly enjoyed the beverages of pink lemon aide and hors d" oeuvers of goldfish!

Hope everyone has a Happy Valentine's Day!

I will be posting the playroom next week.

Half Bath

We made some changes from my last post on the half bath. I repainted because the color that I picked originally wasn't working for me. It is now Zenful by Benjamin Moore, we swapped out the larger sink for a small wall mount sink, added a nicer faucet, and we had the chair rail put in. I still have to paint the chair rail and retouch a few spots here and there.

I have no idea what that weird shadow on the wall above the toilet is. I think it might be the flash from my camera or maybe a reflection from the mirror? For those of you who enlarge the pic please know that I will clean the floor! I haven't had time and the dust from installing the chair rail is all over the place.

I like the smaller sink so much better, but have to figure out how to cover the pipes. Is it me or are they really sticking out and looking ugly??

I am leaning towards finding a cute fabric and making a skirt for around the sink. Any thoughts on this?

My Dad is looking for a cool tile to put up above the sink. We have to get something or the wall is going to get wrecked with water splashing.

I am really happy that we put in the half bath in the end. Makes life so much easier not having to run up stairs with the kids to use the potty. Especially now since we are in week one of getting Sadie potty trained before we leave for FL!

I will be posting pics of the playroom tomorrow!
Have a great day everyone.

We have moved in.

Here is the before pic of the dining room....

It has been a while since my last post because we just got Fios installed yesterday! Two weeks without TV and Internet has been interesting!

So here is the dining room. My Mom and Dad came up last week and painted the dining room and kitchen for me. They did such a great job and I love the colors. The dining room is Smokey Taupe by Benjamin Moore and the trim is done in Atrium White by Benjamin Moore. Notice the rug. My parents brought it when they came as a house warming gift. I think it looks just perfect with the wall color!

We put my china and crystal in the china cabinet. I am embarrassed to say this is the first time I have taken them out of the box since I got married. I never had a space for it in our last place and I was afraid something would get broken. Good news is I still love my china as much as the day I picked it out

The mirror was a wedding gift from my cousin Sara. I didn't have up in our last place because the ceilings were low and it just didn't look right so I was happy to be able to hang it up again! The table was my Aunt Betty's and my Uncle Jeff had it refinished last year and gave it to me as a house warming gift.

Check back tomorrow and I will have another room posted!
