Guest Room

The room that will be the guest room is currently a little girls room. The current owners did a great job with it...can you believe she had the patience to HAND PAINT all of that?! Way more patience than I had with Baby C's room! When I was done painting the wall one solid color...I was DONE.

But back to the point, yes she did a great job. And I'm sure it breaks her heart to have to paint over it. Mr. C and I had talked over keeping the colors and just making it work for Baby C, but when I look at that room as it is I just don't SEE her in that room. Added to the fact that we wanted her to have the other room on the second floor.

So this is the room currently:

We are going to do the room is all browns with a splash of color (that hasn't really been determined yet). We are going to need to find that color out sorta soon though because the bedding for that room, and the wall colors are going to darken the room up quite a bit.

Here is a quick look at our plan (with an option for the splash of color, so let us know what you think).

Before/After

Here is where you will find before and after pictures!

What this blog is about.

In Feb. 2010 we will be closing on our first home! HOMEOWNERS! Finally!

This blog is to keep track of all the projects we take on. The house is perfect for us, most of the changes are very cosmetic. But we're excited to take on the somewhat bigger projects and make this house our home! Each tab will concentrate on just that part of the house. Before pictures, ideas, troubleshooting issues we come across, and of course after pictures. There will be some in-between pictures too!

A little map of where to quickly find things:
The "Bed" include the master, the wee one's room, and the guest room.
The "Bath" include master, second floor, and basement.
The "Living" and the "Kitchen" tabs are pretty obvious.
In the basement we have the "man cave" and the craft room/office.
The "Misc" section will include any projects on the outside of the house, as well as any random projects we aren't quite sure where to put them.
And the "Before /After" section will be a quick place to look to see exactly how things turned out when we are done, and to tell us what you think of the changes we've made!

If you have any questions you can e-mail me at the "Contact" tab at the top!
