House Love

Here is my list of excuses for why I have not decorated my house yet:

1. I am pregnant
2. That's all
3. Yes, that is a lame excuse

Well, enough is enough right?! So we decided to spend Valentine's Day loving on our house a little.

Living room white:



Living room "wild artichoke" (artichokes are yummy):



Those children look happier now. Keep an eye out for curtains, coming soon. (maybe)

Kitchen white:



Kitchen rum runner:



I must say, our house is much, much more welcoming now. More to come, as soon as I can get my round tummy and sore feet up on a painting ladder again.

Hooray for color! We are slowly making our temporary living situation our home. Put a bedskirt on the bed yesterday!
Today is a snow day. We're all in PJs, coloring and playing with blocks. (Actually, I'm in Mike's T-shirt. I don't fit into my pj tops anymore.) Oh, and making a paper chain to count down to the big day. Hope you have a great day!

Love the colors. They look great with the white and your rug!

Great job painting! I love the colors! I love painting - so fun and adds SO much! And I think being preg. is a perfectly good excuse for a lot of things, decorating included.

Amy said...

someday, when we buy a house, can you come over and play?

Ooh! I am so jealous. Your home looks wonderful! The biggest heartache when we moved in was "NO PAINTING". Alas, someday I will live in a home that I can make into my own...for now I will embrace all the bright white (could be worse).
