23 day and counting...

I know, it's been a while. But we were so busy over the holidays buying stuff for the house that I didn't have time to update the blog.

Anyhow, pics of the latest developments below:

You can tell the color of our cabinets above, a dark maple. The hardwood floors in the foyer and kitchen will be dark like that as well.


What you can tell more of in this pic is that the familiar stripes of drywall work are gone as the house has been painted, ceiling included.

The hardwood has actually been laid as well, but we don't have pics of that yet.

We're beginning to take over the VBs basement. Light fixtures, curtain rods, vaccuums, all the fun things you need when first moving into a house. We're so thankful for their hospitality and generosity, we've had so much fun there.

We also picked our paint colors. Bedroom will be a green color, Benjamin Moore 501 Mesquite. If you're so inclined you can look it up at www.benjaminmoore.com. We also bought some bedroom furniture from Art Van. Here's a shot of the collection. We got the dresser and mirror, two night stands, but we got a different bed than in the picture, just a brushed nickle as shown here. Found a good sale on them too so we got a great deal.

In the living room we decided against the red wall. We just felt too much red with our couches, which are also red. So we decided to do some neutral colors from Ralph Lauren at Home Depot. Here's the RL web site. Colors are Urban Loft 38 (UL 38) Greenwich and Naturals 10 (NA10) Sisal. Greenwich, the lighter color, will go in most areas. The back wall of the house, that was going to be red, will be the Sisal, which is a bit darker.

As we get closer to the date, we'll be putting more info up.
