OK - so my "1 weekend 2 shots" thing doesn't seem to be working out for me! lol! I hate to admit that I'm the kind of person who can't stick with something and see it through to the end... but seriously... lately... that's how I feel.
Anyhoo. We've been busy, and I'm not completely void of taking pictures. I just can't find time to blog them :)
We recently had our shutters installed!! We purchased plantation shutters for 50% of the windows in the house.... we have other plans for the remaining 50%... that'll come later. It's completely changed how we feel about the house - it's amazing how complete it makes it. And I'm digging the privacy! lol! No more ducking and dodging all the windows in a fruitless effort to retain some mystery for the neighbors. They look great... check it out!
Entry Way - with dark gray paint and shutter
Sorry for the dark image... but this is the kitchen (sliding glass door behind the curtains)
We constructed the moulding and curtain rod, finished the edges with some caulking, and painted it white to match the trim. The white curtains actually let in a TON of light, contrary to what this photo shows :) The walls in here are also a dark gray.
This is Tyler's man cave (did you catch the word cave? hence the dark stain :))
The room is a beautiful harvest orange - GO BRONCOS - and the shutters look better than we ever imagined with the dark furniture... We'll be adding more memorabilia as time goes on and this will become the ultimate Denver fan room!
At the top of the stairs is the loft area. Another dark picture, but this paint is actually a MUCH lighter gray. This room faces west and the summer sun is BRUTAL. These shutters are sure to do the trick! Can't wait to see how much we save on air conditioning :)
The boudoir. Again, a dark grey color, but the white really pops now! We love our sleep and it's been difficult not to wake up with the sun for the last 6 months, but I think we're "covered" now... no pun intended. Well...ok...maybe just a little one.
We can't wait to do more with the house, but our savings account needs a break ;-P
Now... to get some stuff on the walls... I feel a bit like I'm in a padded cell and that all objects have been removed for my safety - lol! Mom's coming for a visit next week and I'm sure she'll be able to help me make some decisions.
