First Night Home

The first night in our new house we camped out in the upstairs family room. It was full of lots of fun and excitement to be finally living our dream!

 

They installed the countertops in the kitchen today.  They look beautiful.

We are still waiting on the butcher block for the island. I can't wait to see it all together!!!!

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Another quick weekend project was painting this auction mirror the same watermelon color as the butterflies. (Remember my auction story,  if not click on the link!)

A fun fact is that when I took the mirror out it was stamped 1966 (which explains the ugly gold color!)

What once was an outdated mirror has turned into a real beauty with just a little spray paint! Don't you agree?

Some of the details

Pink Butterflies

We are all getting excited about moving to our new house later this month! So when we had a warm day this weekend, we jumped at the opportunity to tackle a few quick projects for the girl's rooms.

I got 3 of these little butterflies at the thrift store for $2.00. (The funny thing is I remember my mom having these butterflies in her kitchen when I was growing up, but hers were yellow :)

We spray painted them a lovely watermelon color.

We are all happy with the results and I think the pink will look great against the turquoise walls.

Oh the Choices!

This week we are picking paint colors for the house! I know several colors that I want already, but I need to decide between a few different colors for the main area of the house. I want to use a main color through most of the  downstairs and up to the second floor. You can see the main area upstairs from the front door so I want to use the same color in that area as well.

Lots of rooms and lots of colors...so exciting and a little nerve racking making sure it is the right color! In case you are wondering....yes, the kids are getting a say in their room.

I will show you what we pick as soon as it starts going up on the walls!

Beautiful Pantry Link

I came across this gorgeous pantry and just had to share it with you. I want our new pantry to look this beautiful....I just love everything about it!

Jump on over to House of Smith's for more beautiful pictures and to see exactly how she did this pantry makeover.
