Before, during.....

Family room BEFORE. Comfortable, boring. BORING. And off kilter.

Family room DURING. It's a mess. This is before the yellow paint went on. Hopefully I can post an AFTER picture, with the creamy walls that will look just the way I hope!

And the kitchen BEFORE, not too bad, just a little dated. After 15 years, ya think we need a change? Oh and any ideas what we can do with the window over the sink?

This is the general mess of furniture and STUFF moved all over. This is what makes me nuts. There is nowhere to sit, without climbing over things.

And there is a suspiciously furry tail vacating the photo. Little white feet, too.

It's a beautiful day. Not too hot, not too chilly. The Yankees are winning so I need to go outside. My mother needs a ride to her church tonight, and I still have to finish preparing my Gospel Doctrine lesson. Man, there is so much to do.

Painting and a Big Mess

You know, redecorating is fun. Kind of. But the mess is driving me absolutely crazy. Don't get me wrong. I am grateful that it is being done. Really I am. But the paint cans and drop cloths, the dust and stuff, the furniture everywhere, clothes and things out of the closets, those are all bad for my psyche. Have you ever been happy and miserable at the same time??

Well anyway, the furniture and carpet are ordered. Hurray!

Paint wise, the creamy look that I wanted in the family room turned out to be YELLOW. No, no, no. That had to go. So another trip to the store for another, much lighter "cream" and we will see how it looks.

The kitchen is gorgeous. I am happy. As much as I try to get away from blue I just can't. I like blue. Larry likes blue. That's just the way it is. So the kitchen is blue and white and it is lovely.

I will post pictures. Before AND after.

Man, I missed this blog. Hello to Facebook friends!

Decorating woes

Guess what?! After 17 years we are redecorating the family room and kitchen. Imagine. Whoo hoo! I thought I would know EXACTLY what I want. Colors? No problem. Style? No problem. I am a woman who is confident in her decisions.

HA!

I think I found the sofa. Well um, maybe. Brown and teal for the walls. What? Maybe not. Found a gorgeous deep red leather chair and ottoman that I sank into and could have read there for hours. Where does THAT fit in?

The kitchen dream colors are cobalt blue, white and yellow. How do I do it?

See this little bottle? That's the color I would like to use somewhere in the kitchen. It's beautiful.

So I am in decorating limbo. Suggestions are welcome. I am a mess with too many choices.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

The blog is BACK!

Okay so I quit Facebook.

I missed the blog and apparently I cannot do both. ADHD.

Work is good. Larry is good. My mother is good. I am good. Tired all the time, but good.

How ARE you all??

Love you guys.
