Today.

April 11, 2011

-I started P90x lean program again.  If you want to join in with me, I'll keep my schedule to the right.  I realized I need to do something for me.  To empower me and to give me more energy.  This exercise program is always the answer to that.

-I am finishing up painting all the trim and doors in Greta's room.  Or, my fourth coat of crisp, white, semi-gloss paint.  It's already worth it.  Can't wait to share it with you.
-Ordering carpet for Greta's room.  
-Starting the huge project of painting over the yellow, white, green and beige paint on the first floor.  Yes, it is ALL visible from the front door.  Most all the walls will be Benjamin Moore's Cape Hatteras Sand, but there will be an accent wall this plum color in the living room:
Benjamin Moore's Nightfall
and this painting (the one that I've been waiting to have) hanging on that wall
With this couch sitting underneath the painting. 
(Yeah, it's white.  Yeah, it's slipcovered and completely washable.)
With two happy yellow ottoman's on our shaggy rug
And this was just the sneak peak.  I am getting all giddy about the living room already.  Also, I can't wait to have A (that's a long "a" sound) couch.  For more of where my brain meets my heart (aka my inspiration storage)--check out my Pinterest...I love this bandwagon I jumped on.

  1. We really do. This will be the third couch we own in our 17 months of marriage. We have sold the other two. We like to keep things fresh, I guess. But we also only buy when we can't pass up the deal and we have the cash.

  2. i love that picture with the purple painted walls! and i have an obsession with that yellow lately. and i adore that couch. good luck with tony horny.. (that's what my friends and i call him.)

  3. Not sure how I got to your post - I was at Young House Love - then ended up here (not complaining I love the blog). The rope bridge picture is awesome - where is that?

  5. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy you're getting that painting...or photograph?? lol

    White...scaaaaaaaaaaaaares me....but get some heavy duty bleach and it'll be okay. Somehow Brinley ALWAYS wears her white pants when we play with chalk outside. Whenever she stands up I notice a huge rainbow across her butt or legs. It makes me laugh and think, WHY do are kids clothes WHITE??? for the love. But I can't get over how cute her white capri pants are...

    Love the idea of a plum wall! I LOOOVe crisp white molding. So fresh.

    Go girl. and yaaaaaaaaa I'll do my best keeping up with p90. You know I'm lacking the motivation, but I'll try.
