A Little Color in the Living Room and Kitchen

Before Thanksgiving, we hired painters to paint several rooms in the house.  We mainly needed the double volume entry and family room painted, but ended up adding the laundry room, breakfast room, kitchen, dining room, upstairs hallway and gameroom to the list.  What would have been a never-ending job for us only took them 4 days!  I also used the holiday break to sew window treatments, and I'm so happy with how everything turned out!







Paint colors:
     Family Room:  Camelback by Sherwin Williams
             accent wall around fireplace:  Hopsack by Sherwin Williams
     Kitchen/Breakfast Area:  Meadow Trail by Sherwin Williams

Window Treatments:
     Pattern:  McCall's M5286 Scallop Pleat Valance
     Fabric:   Finess Ashbury Paisley Fawn

The Big Reveal

We closed October 17, and immediately started moving and unpacking. Nearly 3 weeks later, the house is finally ready to be seen! (Well, a few rooms anyway!)

We spent yesterday working in the yard. When we moved in there were quite a few dead bushes and some crepe myrtles that needed to come out. We planted some burford hollys by the house and left the row of boxwoods in front. We also added two italian cypress trees, two japanese blueberry shrubs and a sago palm. I plan to add some flowers around the sago palm soon!

The entry way...one of my favorite spaces. Just wished I knew how to decorate it.

Our new living room furniture looks beautiful in here with the rug. We are planning on adding built-ins on either side of the fireplace.

The dining room is furnished, but needs help. It's much larger than our previous dining room, and even with the table fully extended it still needs more (like a larger rug, for sure).

The kitchen! We are loving the wild granite and island!

Our favorite room happens to be the playroom/TV room upstairs. Hopefully, I'll have some more pictures soon!
