Just a Taste~

This month has officially been deemed, 'Baby Month'. We are having two showers thrown for us by friends and family, and we're also going full steam now at getting her room ready!

Just two days ago we finished painting the nursery and here's just a little sample, if you will, of what is to come!

I love Painting!

So if you remember a few posts back, I mentioned here at the end that we were prepping for another project. Well friends- if you spotted those paint swatches on the wall then you probably figured out that we were painting our living room/dining room/ and hallway! After weeks of deliberating over which grey we finally picked one (Silver Sateen by Behr in case you wanted to know) and it felt GREAT to paint!  Something about picking out our own color for our living room/dining room/ hallway in our first house sure makes you feel like an adult! It was great.

So to keep this short and sweet, let's just get to the befores and afters!

Befores:






And drumroll please, the Afters:









In case you are very observant, you probably saw this picture:

now added in the dining room area! The space needed something different than the last Venice piece and I have been meaning to blow up this fabulous picture from our wedding. I ordered it through posterprintfactory.com and was VERY impressed with them. The quality is great, but they actually messed up my first order by not printing it in black and white. When I called to ask for them to fix it, they apologized immediately, said it was their fault and they would have a new copy out by the end of the day! Well not only did they follow through on their word, they let me keep the first color print AND they sent a 2nd color print in the new shipment. I'm guessing there's some new person on the production side of things and they messed up, so they just sent me the extra copy anyways. Who knows, but now I have 3, 20 X 30" copies of this fun picture!

And here is another fun change to the dining room since the first before was taken. I'll do a short little blurb on this another time.
