Has anyone ever told you that, well we listened.
In August we had the front yard landscaped and we had someone come in and professionally finish our pathway. The one we attempted ourselves a while back (see earlier post).
In November we had the outside of the house painted, we hadn't touched it since we moved in over 6 years ago.
Then just last month we had our house painted inside. We needed the nursery painted and the walls in the rest of the house had been the same color since we moved in, so we updated everything. I chose gray colors, as I am sort of obsessed with gray right now.
We are now doing our master bathroom. Which needed to be done BAD! The sinks were rusting, it was just all around old, rusty and dated! So that is going on now and I'm excited for them to be done. It will just be nice to have our house back to normal. I have been having fun picking out all the elements for the bathroom. The sinks, toilet, tile, counter tops, vanity, hardware, etc... Then there is the paint....
So I have decided that I am extremely indecisive while pregnant! Its very frustrating.
First to start, I thought I knew what I wanted for the exterior of the house, I wanted a warm toned; medium/darker gray house, with a warm white trim and black shutters and front door. Well I chose the wrong gray, our house was once again a blue gray color just darker (but not much)... not what I wanted and it looked horrible. Well that was an expensive mistake, as we had to pay for them to re-do it with another color. Of course not the whole price, but still it didn't go over real well. oops.
So needless to say, I didn't want to make the same mistake in the interior of the house. I am actually really happy with all the colors, well, except the family room. I was originally happy with it and don't hate it, but we got new carpet in there since we painted and I'm just not sure if it goes with the new carpet.
I think its safe to say I get too wrapped up in the decorating of the house. It is one if my true passions, but I'm not very good at it while pregnant. The latest great example is our bathroom we are remodeling... I couldn't decide should I go dark or light on the wall color??? Gray that is ;) So I decided to go light, I felt like it was safer ~ well i didn't really question it but then Reilly mentioned how it is basically white, (which it is) and it may just look really sterile in there. So now of course I am completely questioning the color choice, but it is way to late to change my mind. So I am going to see how it ends up after its all done, and if I really feel like it needs to be changed, then I will paint it myself. But I wanted a fresh, clean feel, being the bathroom and all. Ill let you know how it turns out.
Oh and in the family room we are having wainscoting put up in there, which I think is going to look amazing and I'm so excited for that to be done as well! Ill post pics soon.
Enough boring info on all we are doing to the house. Regardless, super excited to be making all the updates! The house will be next to finished by the time baby arrives :)
...unless I decide to change any paint colors that is ;)
