I know the ten of you who read my blog have seen this space MANY times before. However, I am super jazzed about the changes that are taking place around these parts. So, even though I am crazy behind on posting about anything and everything my little family has done lately I'm gonna take the time to show you the new and improved entryway. Actually, the new and improved stuff is spread through a lot of places in the ol' house. Let's just say that there has been A LOT of paint therapy goin on round these parts the last month or so. AND I LOVE IT! But today is JUST the entryway. So, welcome to my home, again.
Notice anything different?
How bout now?
I have been a busy little painting beaver. ALL of the trim in the house is gettin hit. I was so tired of the beige doors and trim. Too difficult to work with for someone who prefers to live in a crayon box full of colors. So, after five years of living with it, I dived in. I started way back in early August and I am still going strong. Just a few more spaces to hit and that color will be eradicated from my home, FOREVER!
I didn't want white white trim, but not too creamy of one either. It took a bit to find the PERFECT color. But I did! Adobe White baby! Also, I have been dying to paint my doors black for a while now. Once the trim color was picked and that ball got rolling I figured now was as good a time as any!
So, I waited for Nate to go to Scout camp and busted out the rollers. Poor guy didn't have a clue, AGAIN! He didn't even know I was thinking about it! HeheWell, if you know me AT ALL, you know then that one thing led to another and I ended up painting the WALLS of the entryway too!
Originally they were a creamish color and I was already struggling with boredom. Once the creamy white trim went up I COULD NOT STAND IT! So.....I grabbed my favorite go to color, took it to the paint store and had them mix it up for me at half strength and....VOILA! Happy Dance! I love love love the direction my house is going in. As a reminder of what it looked like just a few weeks ago here is a before shot.
See the boring beige and cream. Ugh! The thing I really don't understand is why do I wait?I had a vision of what I wanted to do to my house when we bought it five years ago. And yet here I am just now getting my crap enough together to actually do it! Crazy! And no more I tell ya. If I were to show you some of the projects I'm knee deep in right now you would totally see that I mean it! I am getting at it baby! I thought I was making this place OURS five years ago, and now I see that I am just scratching the surface. Can't wait to show ya the rest! But that will have to wait for another day.
