Decisions, decisions...


Can you tell we're trying to pick a paint color? 

We have a total of about five different paint colors in each area, we've just painted them in multiple areas so we can see them in different kinds of light.  The problem is we don't get a lot of light in here by the time we get home at 5 pm, so everything looks so dark to me! The look I'm going for is blue/gray with a hint of sea foam...I want it to be a neutral color without having to be brown.  Sort of like this.  The funny thing is, I have the EXACT color from that picture represented somewhere in that blob of blue you see on my wall, and it looks nothing like it does in the picture!

While there's plenty of chaos going on at 100 Briarwood as we search for wall colors and specific pieces of furniture, there is also a lot of stuff going on that makes me very happy! Here are just a few examples...

I'm LOVING our functional re-take on the space that was intended to be the dining room!  On this shelf I've repurposed a cigar box for a place to empty your pockets and drop your car keys.

I think it's important to decorate and make things pretty even if you're planning on completely changing everything because it's keeps you sane amongst the chaos!  While Eric was becoming an attic addict (see what I did there?) and trying to get me to store away the decorations, I was begging him to take them down! 

Today we got a FREE pedestal sink for the half bath off craigslist!!  Since that room is so small and we're planning on replacing the sink in light of our new find, we decided to go ahead and replace the floors too! So that will begin this weekend, and I'll give you the whole story then! Get excited!
