Ready, Set, PAINT!

The paint fumes are starting to get to me! This week we began our home updates. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to decorate- nothing gets me more excited. For awhile now I have realized that my taste is drastically changing, I was SO tired of our previously olive green walls & purple furniture. Don't get me wrong I loved it when we did it but just got tired of it after 7 years and my style has changed. Our house is not a fun house to paint so, we called in back up! And we are well on our way but I am getting anxious to get it all finished-- I see my vision coming to life! And well I would like to have a place to sit in my living room again!

My previously green walls with our new mantle Jason added to my mosaic fireplace, yes, I mosaic'd our fireplace. I mosaic anything I can get my hands on. :) 

more green walls

NO MORE GREEN- back to Buff (aka Khaki)

My house is a crazy mess right now

SO what is coming... Buff walls, I am on my way to Lowes today to get some sand paper to start distressing my coffee table. Karly spilled nail polish remover on it a while back making me SO sad, I love the table! It hit me the other night, we don't need a new table I can make this work! The theme is Shabby Chic/ cottage-- It is my new craze! I love taking modern & mixing it with old beat up rustic-- I just think it is beautiful. I have my eye on a new gorgeous area rug, new black leather furniture will be ordered tonight. And decor is all over my house in bags :) I am so excited to see the change & finished product... Hurry up Carl! (the painter!)

ON to the bathroom... I have not liked our bathroom for a long time. It is a long story but the guy who installed it was a moron & make some really stupid decisions leaving me with a mess! We talked about gutting it, but that just seemed like too big of a project so for now we are repainting & doing some small things. It was all white & khaki and now it is on its way to "Interesting Aqua"

excuse the mess- I have no where to go with anything right now!
SO this pic does no justice but I am IN LOVE with the color. My vision is SO clear to me now...

There is still a lot to be done--- he hasn't even started on the kitchen downstairs which will be my beach inspired kitchen, color "Latte" ;) Is there anything better than sitting on the beach drinking and iced coffee, I THINK NOT! I am on a mission to finally have my house exactly as I want it! Stay tuned...
