Rooms Slowly Getting Completed !





We have completed a few rooms in our house so far. Our Family Room has almost a dark olive green color to it... very warm and relaxing, I must say! Our toy room has almost a aqua/blue color, its called St. Croix...I need to finish making a few more signs to add into the decor. Our bathroom: we painted a red, khaki, and bright white trim. Let me tell ya, if you are thinking about painting with red of any shade...be prepared to use at least two to four gallons depending upon what your painting over.
(We painted over white, I'm sure that makes a heck of a difference... We used two gallons, and our bathroom is relatively large, but not large enough to use two gallons of any other color paint. When Bart rolled the first coat, we instantly looked at each other and thought, "What in the heck are we doing? It looks 'hot pink'!"...After three coats of red...it finally deepened up quite nicely...thank God ! :) I need to finish a few accents for the walls in there, and purchase a double sink, since the counter space is large enough for it, Yea! Five kids fighting to brush their teeth before 7 am... is almost too much. The boys ended up acquiring the basement shower/sink since it enables them to move more freely, and not get the girl's routine out of sort... :) Imagine that, boys trying to get a rise out of their sisters:) We ended up getting our Den/Sitting Room finished up a month ago...it is a tea dyed color...very pretty. We inherited some nice furniture from my parents that goes rather exquisite in there....its fun to read/study/rest in that room. My last accomplishment was the hallway...I painted that in a dark gray in color...I added some accents to the walls so far...Gonna do lots of white frames and such....Haven't quite gotten that far. My next hurdle is going to be my kitchen, which currently has wallpaper from floor to ceiling with red check, bird houses...basically more of a 'country' theme...Definitely not my taste in decor. So I am anxious to get this accomplished, since I do spend majority of my time in there making meals and cleaning up. I am not sure what color as of yet...But I am steaming off wallpaper today...(btw, are the best things in life, thanks to my mom giving me the idea in purchasing one) I'll let you know when I accomplish some much needed work in my chef area...... :)
