paint

First, i feel i should preference with the fact that i figured out i can email my pics as a txt message...so i don't actually go online with my phone. i told my very good friend rosie (who is a member of our tech support team at work this) and she thought it was "cute" i just figured out that such things are possible. anyways...now that i have figured it out i have stuff to share!

i have been busy! first i painted the walls in the kitchen, some of the kitchen, "ranch red". then i painted a wall plus, in ryenn's room white. the rest was suppose to be painted white this last weekend, but falling back makes me way lazy...so her room is still undone. next wknd for sure! :)


the finished wall in ryenn's room. we got those cool big sticker decals. those would be the butterflies. ryenn's new colors are brown and turquiose w/ some pink here and there...this is all ryenn's doing. her new color being brown...
and here you can see what nasty sad color it was before. some weird gray...we wanted to brighten her room and make it an upliftng place to be. so we got rid of the big loft bed a couple months ago and replaced it with the white bedframe and a new comforter...brown w/ turquoise and pink and orange...we'll get that next time when the room is complete..

this is the kitchen...there are the borders now "ranch red" as opposed to nasty purple flowered wallpaper border...i'm thinking a black stencil job at some point...
and that is the one wall done as well. i like is so much! a much cozier feel.

it has been quite the experience making the house MINE for the time being...before i had to compromise. what is my style when i DON'T have to compromise? so i'm finding it! my friend tamara has this great sense of style and i'm stealing it off her...artsy and antiquey...my bedroom will eventually be turn of the 20th century motif and the "tv" room will eventually be retro from art deco to early 1960s...i have a thing for old telephones i'm finding...tamara also turned me onto that antiques...and that is where the next post goes...

i LOVE your new posts - and the delightful changes you are making to your home. Interesting that I don't think any of us got exactly what we wanted when Grandma passed - oh well.

Go forth and be creative!

Love you all!
