Opinion.

Okay, here it is. This is what happens when I pick up a sample of paint and don't have TV to distract me.

What do you think? Seriously, I can take it. Is it weird?

(we are planning on tiling the slate to look a bit darker. The gray isn't working for us)

Country.

I am bored with our house. I suppose that is natural having lived here for 2 1/2 years. We decorated almost immediately upon moving in and although I loved it at the time, I am now bored with it. It is all so... well... matchy-matchy, you know? Black, soft green, dark brown and beige.

I have been obsessed with adding in some color and antique-y type touches. Beau teases me that I am going country....to which I indigently reply "It is not country, it is vintage farm house". Ahem.

So here are some of the things I am lusting after....

using a screen door for your pantry

I don't' like the wallpaper style, but I love the idea

using an old door as a headboard...cute!

Hunting.

My in laws were up this weekend hunting for a house. We are so excited to have them moving closer....but had no idea that the house they would find would be within walking distance! (Yes, that is a good thing!) We spent all weekend looking at new houses, resells, spec homes, gnome homes, good homes, bad homes, what the hell were they thinking homes....and yesterday we found it.

These houses were originally built about a year ago and were priced WAY too high. Luckily they repriced them to fit the market and they now fit Beau's parents budget.

Th Stairs...

The kitchen....

More kitchen....

The house is GORGEOUS and has just about everything they want: a three car garage, a master and guest room on the main floor, and the BIGGEST SEWING ROOM YOU HAVE EVER SEEN.....

Hooray!!
