Happy Thursday!!

Work In Progress: Painting our bedroom

This morning we started a project for the long weekend: painting our bedroom.

Here are some "before" photos:

We decided to paint the walls Heavy Cream and the ceiling Lagoon, both by Martha Stewart Paints.  So far, we love the results!  We didn't realize how dark the old color was until we saw it next to the cream.  Once we get the ceiling completed (we are getting ready to paint a second coat), Brian will cut in at the top of the wall.  An unorthadox technique, maybe to cut in last but we wanted to finish this weekend.  I honestly don't know what people usually do with painting but this works for us.



I better get upstairs before Brian yells down for me.  More photos later! 

New Pillows/Cushions (+ dogs)

I've kept myself busy making pillows for our couch.  I am done, now, because three is about all Brian can handle.  I think he likes the new pillows, but could do with a little less pink.  Georgia and I, however, adore the pink!  As she would say, the pink POPS!!

Welcome, 2011!!

Like most families, we are back to work and school this week.  We had a great holiday break/vacation.  In fact, I wished that Georgia could have stayed home a couple more days!  Anyway, we are back to the regular routine, which, for Tucker and Gus, involves a whole lotta this:

Happy New Year!!!
