Feels like new

We've been having a lot of fun with our house! Projects galore have kept us busy this past month. I am so excited for all the progress in our home. We've lived here for 7 1/2 years and never had the downstairs painted. It was BORING! I was done with it being so dull and boring. James was so awesome to fulfill all of my "honey-do's" on the list. So far, that is! We've still got a ways to go, but it's a start for now! Lots of hard work and mess, and here we are with the kitchen painted, new area rug for the living room, and some new decorations for the wall in the kitchen!

under the chair rail went the darker blue



and on top was a light blue

Wallahhhh!!! Looks much better with the tape off and in the daylight!


New flowers and planter. I love orchids!
New pitcher vase I thought was cute.
Red frames before painting black to match everything else.

Here I am not having fun in an under ventilated corner in the kitchen behind our fridge at 9 or 10 at night without dinner! Yes, I did feel sick after. I'm so smart to have done that, aren't I?

And our new kitchen table!! My most exciting purchase of them all! I was so happy to have finally picked out a table that I love! Hope it will last us many years to come and we will have lots of happy memories around this table!

Our new area rug

Now comes painting the living room! We will be painting it light brown and dark brown. I'm going to recover the red pillows and put up a few new decorations in the living room too! I'm also currently decorating the girls bathroom as well. I'll put up more pictures as we get those done!

Crazy hair day

Logan had a crazy hair day at school a few weeks ago, and here is what we came up with! Autumn says she can't wait to go to school so she can do stuff like this. Plus wear her p.j.'s too!
