I find myself with a happy mixture of both. I don't enjoy LIFE changes, but I do enjoy STYLE and home updates, and Remodel changes.
I have hated our fireplaces since day one. Finally!!!! I'm making a few updates, and while they're still NOT finished, I can see the light... I can see what I think I want to happen.
Also, on a REALLY funny note, the guys (working here) are yelling at each other right now. I SO enjoy people working in our house all the time - (sarcasm)
Fireplace Original:
Fireplace 1: thanks to remodel #1
Fireplace 2: thanks to remodel #2
Fireplace 2.1: updated/revamped! (in the works)
What you guys don't realize (for those who have not been in our house before) we have 2 fireplaces. One in the living room, and one in the dining room. They back up to each other, but unfortunately do not connect. So giant pain when working around them!
Ok enough about fireplaces - those are boring.
I know, know one will be shocked when I say this- but we had a little mishap with the house. - Not worth talking about, but the updates surrounding it - ARE!
And - I guess, even tough it's money we didn't want to spend - we are finally getting our closet doors fixed! We've always had these pocket doors - mine sticks ALL the time. My solution has just been keep our bedroom door open! But, all that is being fixed (see new door 1 of 2 below).
Which means, if you're guessing - yep, painting this bedroom again.
It's been Dark, Darker, Light (for 2 days) then dark again.
I think, I'm going light.
Here are a few attempts at this bedroom. Let me know what you think.
First room color: RH Slate
Second room color: RH graphite (which is also our exterior) and is the LAST picture shown.
Third color: SW Big Chill (I believe) I HATED it!!!! It lasted on the walls 2 days. Even after I did maybe 8 swatches, it did Not grow on me.
and I went back to RH Graphite which is how the room has been for the last year.
BUT like I said, we had a little issue - so the walls are being re-finished.
NOW - I'm thinking I want a white room--- But I'm really scared. This FURNITURE --- Its SO Heavy and DARK! I refuse to paint it white. and I Cannot give it away. I doubt I could sell it. ...So I'm stuck. But white? Seems very hospital? I don't know. I have until tomorrow to figure this out.
Which, let's face it- is not a lot of time.
And the trouble is NO ONE on blogs or instagram, (that I follow) has BLACK Heavy furniture. SO I see ZERO inspiration!!! Heavy Sigh. Serious First World problems, right?
What would you do???
And last but not least. FINALLY
This guy is OUT,
and This guy --- Is (about to be) IN!
Whats wrong you ask? Well, the first door --its an interior door - the second door, it's an exterior door! ---do you really wanna know how that even happened? Start at blog post #1. (I giggle).
And this concludes our little catching up on the blog. Life changes happening around the house, over the last week or two
Ps. we did this --
Cleared about an acre behind our house! I got poison ivy, that's lasted for 3 weeks! But that's another story, for another day.
